Section 463-85-140 - Calculating greenhouse gases emissions and determining compliance for baseload electric generation facilities
Universal Citation: WA Admin Code 463-85-140
Current through Register Vol. 24-18, September 15, 2024
(1) The owner or operator of a baseload electric generation facility or unit that must demonstrate compliance with the emissions performance standard in WAC 463-85-130(1) shall collect the following data:
(a) Fuels and fuel feed stocks.
(i) All fuels and fuel feed stocks used to provide energy input
to the baseload electric generation facility or unit.
(ii) Fuel usage and heat content, which are to be monitored,
and reported as directed by WAC
463-85-230.
(b) Electrical output in MWh as measured and recorded per WAC
463-85-230.
(c) Regulated greenhouse gases emissions from the baseload
electric generation facility or unit as monitored, reported and calculated in
WAC 463-85-230.
(d) Adjustments for use of renewable resources. If the owner or
operator of a baseload electric generation facility or unit adjusts its
greenhouse gases emissions to account for the use of renewable resources,
greenhouse gases emissions are reduced based on the ratio of the annual heat
input from all fuels and fuel feed stocks and the annual heat input from use of
nonrenewable fuels and fuel feed stocks. Such adjustment will be based on
records of fuel usage and representative heat contents approved by EFSEC or
ecology as appropriate.
(2) By January 31 of each year, the owner or operator of each baseload electric generation facility or unit subject to the monitoring and compliance demonstration requirements of this rule will:
(a) Use the data collected under subsection (1) of this section
to calculate the pounds of regulated greenhouse gases emissions emitted per MWh
of electricity produced during the prior calendar year by dividing the
regulated greenhouse gases emissions by the total MWh produced in that year;
and
(b) Submit that calculation and all supporting information to
EFSEC.
