3 The following information respecting the emission intensity referred to in subsection 4(1) or (2) of these Regulations resulting from the combustion of fossil fuel in the unit during the calendar year:

• (a) the emission intensity for the unit — that is, the ratio of the quantity of CO₂ emissions referred to in paragraph (c) to the quantity of energy referred to in subparagraph (b)(i) — expressed in tonnes per GWh;

• (b) in respect of the quantity of energy produced by the unit,

  • (i) that quantity determined in accordance with section 11 of these Regulations, expressed in GWh,

  • (ii) the value determined for G and H_pnet in the formula set out in subsection 11(1) of these Regulations, expressed in GWh, and

  • (iii) the value determined for G_ce, G_s and G_ext in the formula set out in subsection 11(2) of these Regulations, expressed in GWh;

• (c) in respect of the quantity of CO₂ emissions from the combustion of fuels in the unit,

  • (i) if paragraph 12(a) of these Regulations applies, the result of the calculation made in accordance with section 13 or 14 and, if applicable, section 15 of these Regulations, expressed in tonnes, and

  • (ii) if paragraph 12(b) of these Regulations applies, the result of the calculation made in accordance with sections 17 and 18 of these Regulations, expressed in tonnes; and

• (d) for each type of fuel combusted,

  • (i) the type and, if that type is biomass, an explanation of why that type is biomass as defined in subsection 2(1) of these Regulations, and

  • (ii) the quantity of fuel combusted.

4 The following information:

• (a) in the case of a unit that is granted an exemption under paragraph 7(4)(a) of these Regulations, the duration of the emergency circumstance, such as the date on which the circumstance arose and the date on which it ceased; and

• (b) in the case of a unit referred to in subsection 4(4) of these Regulations that is temporarily connected to one or more replacement combustion engines,

  • (i) the duration of the repairs or maintenance, such as the day in the calendar year on which the repairs or maintenance began and the day in the calendar year on which they ended, and

  • (ii) the reason why the replacement combustion engine was used.

5 A copy of the auditor’s report referred to in subsection 16(2) of these Regulations.
