Explanatory Note
This note is not part of the notice but is intended to indicate its general effect.
This notice, which comes into effect on 26 March 2010, requires any person carrying out aluminium smelting (as that activity is defined in the notice) to provide the information requested by the Minister in accordance with the data collection rules specified in the notice including only the emissions set out in Schedule 2 of the notice from the sources listed in Emissions Rule 1 of Schedule 1 of the notice, and excluding those emissions set out in Schedule 3 of the notice.
The information is being requested to assist the Minister to determine if the activity meets the criteria listed in section 161D(3)(a) of the Act.
The specified template, declaration and bases of preparation required by this notice, together with the guidance document for filling in these documents can be downloaded from www.climatechange.govt.nz/industrialallocation.
It is noted that for the purposes of supplying data in response to this notice submitters are required for allocative baseline purpose in relation to electricity emissions, to estimate emissions using an allocation factor of 0.52 tonnes of CO₂-e per megawatt hour of consumption. However, the Minister has discretion under section 161C(4) of the Act to adjust the number of whole tonnes of included emissions provided by persons carrying out the activity after the Minister has taken into account any electricity-related contract in force at the date of this notice which affects the electricity cost increase that a person will face due to the obligation imposed by the Act on participants to surrender units, or any information relating to any such contracts. The Minister has issued the Call for the Provision of Electricity-Related Contracts and Related Information (Aluminium Smelting) Notice 2010 requesting electricity-related contracts in force at the date of that notice and information relating to such contracts.
The specified template, declaration and bases of preparation must be completed and returned to the Ministry for the Environment within 60 working days of the date of this notice. The Ministry would prefer to receive this information by email to industrialallocation@mfe.govt.nz. If you consider that providing the information by email would cause difficulties, you may return data on CD by mail or in person.
