Under section 65 of the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting (Safeguard Mechanism) Rule 2015 (Safeguard Rule), responsible emitters may apply to the Clean Energy Regulator for a multi-year monitoring period to be declared in relation to a facility.

Where a multi-year monitoring period has been granted, the baseline emissions number for the facility is calculated as a single baseline number that applies across the entire multi-year monitoring period. At the end of the period, aggregate covered emissions for the two or three year period (plus or minus any Australian carbon credit units (ACCUs) issued or surrendered) are compared against this baseline number to determine whether the facility is in an excess emissions situation.

Note that in response to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, amendments were made in May 2020 to the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting (Safeguard Mechanism) Rule 2015. This includes allowing responsible emitters to opt-in to extend a multi-year monitoring period that ceases on 1 July 2020, by one year.

The table below provides a consolidated view of data for multi-year monitoring periods that has previously been published in the baselines table and the annual safeguard facility reported emissions tables. This table aims to make information on multi-year monitoring periods easier to understand.

Notes

The Year 1, 2 and 3 ‘Covered emissions’ and ‘Baseline number’ columns will be updated each year to reflect the numbers that would apply to each facility if the multi-year monitoring period did not exist.

The ‘Covered Emissions (Cumulative)’ column will be updated each year to reflect the total covered emissions for the facility, over the multi-year monitoring period.

Prior to the end of a multi-year monitoring period, these columns can be used to follow a facility’s progress across the multi-year monitoring period, but cannot be used to determine whether the facility has exceeded its baseline.

For example, in the second year of a three-year multi-year monitoring period, the ‘Covered Emissions (Cumulative)’ column will be the sum of the Year 1 and 2 ‘Covered emissions’ columns. The facility will still have another year’s emissions to be added to see whether the facility meets its obligations.

The ‘MYMP net emissions number’ is the total covered emissions from the facility over the entire two or three period, plus or minus any Australian carbon credit units issued or surrendered over the period. This column will show as ‘n/a’, until the multi-year monitoring period has been completed. For completed multi-year monitoring periods, this column will match the ‘Covered Emissions (Cumulative)’ column.

Where a multi-year monitoring period has been granted, the baseline for the facility is calculated by dividing the total of the baselines that would apply to the facility in each year of the multi-year monitoring period, by the total number of days in the multi-year monitoring period. This single baseline applies to the two or three -year period. The ‘MYMP baseline number’ column will show as ‘n/a’, until the multi-year monitoring period has been completed.

At the end of the monitoring period, the ‘MYMP net emissions number’ is compared against the ‘MYMP baseline number’ to determine whether the facility is in an excess emissions situation.

At the end of a multi-year monitoring period, the ‘MYMP status’ will be marked as ‘Complete’.
