ANNEX IISupplementary provisions

ANNEX II NORMALISATION RULE FOR ACCOUNTING FOR ELECTRICITY GENERATED FROM HYDROPOWER AND WIND POWER The following rule shall be applied for the purposes of accounting for electricity generated from hydropower in a given Member State: (Q N(norm) )(C N [(/(i)(N 14))(Q i C i )] 15) where: N = reference year; Q N(norm) = normalised electricity generated by all hydropower plants of the Member State in year N, for accounting purposes; Q i = the quantity of electricity actually generated in year i by all hydropower plants of the Member State measured in GWh, excluding production from pumped storage units using water that has previously been pumped uphill; C i = the total installed capacity, net of pumped storage, of all hydropower plants of the Member State at the end of year i, measured in MW. The following rule shall be applied for the purposes of accounting for electricity generated from onshore wind power in a given Member State: (Q N(norm) )((C N C N 1 2)((/(i)(Nn))Q i (/(j)(Nn))(C j C j 1 2))) where: N = reference year; Q N(norm) = normalised electricity generated by all onshore wind power plants of the Member State in year N, for accounting purposes; Q i = the quantity of electricity actually generated in year i by all onshore wind power plants of the Member State measured in GWh; C j = the total installed capacity of all the onshore wind power plants of the Member State at the end of year j, measured in MW; n = 4 or the number of years preceding year N for which capacity and production data are available for the Member State in question, whichever is lower. The following rule shall be applied for the purposes of accounting for electricity generated from offshore wind power in a given Member State: (Q N(norm) )((C N C N 1 2)((/(i)(Nn))Q i (/(j)(Nn))(C j C j 1 2))) where: N = reference year; Q N(norm) = normalised electricity generated by all offshore wind power plants of the Member State in year N, for accounting purposes; Q i = the quantity of electricity actually generated in year i by all offshore wind power plants of the Member State measured in GWh; C j = the total installed capacity of all the offshore wind power plants of the Member State at the end of year j, measured in MW; n = 4 or the number of years preceding year N for which capacity and production data are available for the Member State in question, whichever is lower.
