Reporting spreadsheets:

• Absolute s/s

• Relative s/s

• CHP SRM

• Novem TU reporting at the individual product level

• Novem TU reporting at the aggregate product level

• Target Period Performance Results

• Surplus and Buy-Out

• Novem Carbon s/s

• Errors during submission

• Reporting Variations:

– Drop in throughput

– Disruption of energy supply

Agenda


• Each workbook contains two spreadsheets

– Instruction on how to complete the report

– The actual template where the data must be entered

• Section 1: Reporting Details

This section is the same for all target types and contains

some prepopulated information:

– Sector name

– Target Period: TP1

– Report Version

• V1 when the spreadsheet is first downloaded

• New version when a variation have been processed

• New version if spreadsheet in unlock

• New version for secondary Buy-Out

– Template version will show v2 – only v2 will be accepted by the registry

• Green cells should be populated by the SA/consultant – these cells will not be used

for validation

Section 1: Report details


• Section 2: Target Unit Details, Targets and previous performance

different for each target type

• Blue cells will be pre-populated with data from the Register

• Pink cells are calculated

Section 2: Target Unit Details, Targets and previous

performance

Absolute TU

Novem TU

Relative TU


Section 3: Target Period Data

Number of light green

column reflects the

number of facilities in

the TU

Information to be

entered about the

performance of the

target facility within the

target period.

Data can alternatively

be entered at a TU level

in the bright-green

column

Pre populated

carbon factors

for standard

fuels

Names and

carbon factor

to be entered

manually for

“other fuels”

“No data entered” / “Single Facility TU” / “TU & Facility Data Entered” / “TU data entered” / Facility Data Entered”


Section 3: Target Period Data

The Absolute Flag

When the actual throughput for

the target period is less than

90% of twice the throughput in

the base year (absolute targets

only) a flag will appear

The TU can submit a variation

to amend the Targets following

a drop in throughput.

Note: the flag will not

disappear after the TPR

variation because only the

targets will be modified – NOT

the baseline.


Data must be entered from the day of assent: (CCA Op Manual Section 10.3)

- The full 24 months target period for migrated facilities

- Data from the day of assent for facilities that joined the scheme after 1st April 2013

The throughput value in this section should always be the actual throughput (even if the

TU is applying CHP SRM)

The energy must be reported in the TU energy Unit, e.g. kWh, MWh, GJ or PJ.

EUETS energy must not be included in the reported data (CCA Op Manual Section 10.3.1)

Data should be entered to the decimal place agreed with the facilitator or to the 3dp. If

formula are used, these should be rounded

What data should you enter in Section 3?


Section 3a: CHP Special Reporting Mechanism (SRM)

- Target units with Novem or Relative targets may have chosen to apply the CHP SRM

- If the TU is applying the CHP SRM the TPR spreadsheet will contain Section 3a

Information to be entered about

CHP delivered electricity (in TU

energy unit) at a facility level in

the light-green cells

Alternatively the adjusted throughput

for the whole TU can be entered in

the bright-green cell

The adjusted throughput is

then automatically calculatedWhere data are entered at facility level in

Section 3, they must also be entered at

the facility level in Section 3a

Variation is needed if the TU is using CHP

SRM but this information is not flagged in

the Registry


Section 4: Novem TUs

• Target units with Novem targets may report data at the individual product level or at the aggregated product level

The data will be used to automatically calculate two quantities necessary

for determining Novem targets and performance

Product Name or ID

Y/N option

Base year production

(or first 12 months of production if

product introduced after the BY)

Target improvement

(full target for products

introduced after BY)

Base year energy consumption for

production

(or equivalent energy “as if the product

was produced in the BY”) CCA OP Manual B.13

Remember to enter adjusted throughput if CHP

SRM has been applied

Data needed to report at

Individual Product level:

Target period production

(for 24 months or from day of

assent)


Section 4: Novem Flags

The Novem TPR spreadsheet performs some checks to make sure that the data entered at a single

product level agree with what is in the registry.

Three checks are carried out: The BY energy hold in the register and pre-

populated in Section 2 is equal to the sum of

individual product level BY energies entered in

Section 4 at a individual level data

The total saving as sum of the targets

distributed at an individual product level is

equal to the TU latest agreement target

The TP throughput entered Section 3 is

equal to the sum of individual product level

TP throughput

These checks are not used as validation tests and will

not prevent the SA/consultant to submit the spreadsheet


Section 4: Novem targets reporting data at the aggregated

product level

If the target unit reports at the aggregate

product level, it must enter aggregate values

for the products in the bright green cells of

Section 4. These are the quantities that would

have been automatically calculated by the

workbook.

If the target unit is audited, these individual

product level records will be examined by

Environment Agency auditors.


• Section 4 for Absolute and Relative Target units only contains the Performance Results

• Performance Results are automatically calculated by the workbook using the data provided

• Relative TUs can have tolerance on percentage targets. The effect of tolerance on performance results is shown

in the figure.

Section 4: Target Period Performance results

(Absolute and Relative)

TP Performance= target + tolerance

Surplus used and/or buy-out required

Target met

Target met within

tolerance

TP Performance = target - tolerance

Base year (SEC0 )

Target period performance

TP Performance = target

Target Period Results can be:

• Target Met

• Target Met within Tolerance

• Surplus used

• Surplus used and buy-out required

• Buy-out required

Effect of tolerance on Target Period Result


Section 5: Carbon Surplus or Buy-Out Determination

Section 5 is the same for each Target Unit type and provides Surplus and Buy-Out calculations

Surplus Gained in Tonne

CO2

The equivalent energy is the

amount of energy by which

the TU has over-achieved its

targets

Always positive

Buyout required in £

The equivalent energy is the

amount of energy by which

the TU has under-achieved

its targets

Always negative


Section 5: Supplementary MOA Surplus and Buy Out

After the first submission deadline, 1st May 2015, the Buy-Out MoAs will be issued.

Amendments required to the reported performance after the 1st July, will require the completion of a

secondary buyout reporting workbook

Surplus cannot be used to meet performance during secondary reporting.

Any remaining deficit against the target will generate a secondary buy-out. Any buy-out paid for as part

of the initial reporting will be taken into account when calculating the secondary buy-out.


Novem Carbon TPR spreadsheet

• There are 28 Novem TUs with

Carbon targets

• A separate spreadsheet

developed

• Section 3 will need to be

populated with energy in kWh

• If CHP SRM is applied electricity

needs to be reported in

DELIVERED kWh


Novem Carbon TPR spreadsheet

• Target units with Novem targets

may report data at the individual

product level or at the aggregated

product level

• For Individual product level data

Section 4 must be filled in with

Carbon figures (not energy)

• Performance is measured in SCC

“Specific Carbon Consumption”

• Spreadsheet will perform the

same checks to check carbon and

production balance.


• Completed reporting workbooks must be submitted by the sector or its consultant via the

reporting area on the register.

• Submissions should be completed as soon as possible and not left until the end of the reporting

period! (reduce excess load on the register and reduce the risk of not being able to correct

possible issues)

• When a report is uploaded, the register will run a series of automatic validation checks, and may

reject the submission. A description of the error will be provided.

Submitting the TPR spreadsheet


Possible errors during submission

Error Action required

ERROR: Target unit ABC/T00001 cannot be

found as a reportable target unit in this

reporting period.

Check TUID and confirm it is correct. Ensure

that the TU had an agreement in place on

31st December

ERROR: Target unit ABC/T00001 does not

belong to this sector. To upload a report for a

different sector, navigate to the correct

sector's target period reporting submissions

page.

Check that the TU report is being uploaded to

the correct sector reporting page.

ERROR: Target unit ABC/T00001 cannot be

reported on at this time. To enable reporting

submissions for this target unit, please contact

the Administrator.

The TUID is "locked" for reporting (either

because the 1st May deadline has been

reached, the TU has already uploaded data,

or the administrator has manually locked the

TU).

ERROR: The template uploaded uses an old

version of the target unit template. Version v1

has been superseded by version v2. The

latest version must be completed and

uploaded to ensure correct reporting results.

Download the latest reporting workbook, re-

enter the data and re-submit.


Possible errors during submission

Error Action required

ERROR: Cells in the spreadsheet expecting

numeric data contain invalid values

Check data entry to ensure that the data

entered meets the requirements of all

elements of the reporting workbook. Amend

any errors and re-submit.

ERROR: Results calculated in the register do

not match values calculated in the submitted

workbook. Please ensure that calculated

cells within the workbook are not altered

when entering data. The most likely way to fix

this issue is to download the latest version of

the spreadsheet template and re-enter the

data.

Download the latest version of the reporting

template and re-enter the data.

ERROR: An unknown error occurred

processing this file. If it does not correct itself

shortly, please contact the Administrator.

Contact the Environment Agency if the error

persists


Remember to “Enable Editing”

Depending on the system “Security Settings” the TPR spreadsheet could not pick up the energy and

throughput units.

For example the base year energy bracket (cell C23) is now showing (kWh).

Click on “Enable

Editing” and all the

fields will be

populated.


Reporting Variations

• In two circumstances variations may be submitted to reflect changes which may impact on a

target unit's target:

• the actual throughput for the target period is less than 90% of twice the throughput in the

base year (Absolute TU)

• there has been an unexpected disruption in energy supply

• An Operator must notify the Administrator on or before 31st January in the year following the end

of a target period

• Spreadsheets have been developed to calculate the modified targets in these circumstances

• Once the data have been collected and the s/s filled in SA/consultant must submit a TPR variation

• TPR variations do not modify the baseline

• TPR variations will affect the TP % targets


TPR variation: Drop in Throughput

• Two methods operators can adopt to adjust their targets in line with the fall in throughput.

• Method 1: Operator cannot provide statistically valid data to prove strong energy-throughput

relationship. This method applied:

• a taper to be applied when the TP throughput is between 10% and 20% less than 2 times the

BY throughput

• full value of the taper is added back to the target if the actual TP throughput is 10% less than

twice the BY throughout

• no taper is added back to the target if the actual TP throughput is 20% or more less than twice

the BY throughput.

• Method 2: Operator can demonstrate a statistically valid energy–throughput relationship, i.e. r-

squared value of greater than 0.8

Method 1 Method 2


TPR variation: Drop in Throughput

Method 2

Method 1

Coefficient shown here must be >0.8 to apply Method 2

Monthly breakdown of base year throughput and

energy must sum up with values in the register

This cell tells you whether the TU can

adjust the target

This cell tells you whether you

can apply Method 2 or not


• A variation can be submitted to adjust the target in line with the extra energy associated with the

disruption of power supply

• Information required as part of variation

– qualitative evidence that the supply of energy was disrupted

– qualitative evidence to demonstrate that the failure could not have been anticipated

– data to allow an adjusted target to be calculated

• The adjusted target will take account of the difference between the primary energy consumption

that would normally have been required to support operations for the period of the supply failure,

and the primary energy consumption that was actually required

• Targets must have been not met due to the extra energy consumption related to the disruption of

power supply

• Spreadsheet well check whether the TU has not met the targets due to the disruption

• Once the data have been collected and the s/s filled in SA/consultant must submit a TPR variation

TPR variation: Disruption of energy supply


TPR variation: Disruption of energy supply

Total energy consumption in TP

(including extra energy due to supply

disruption)

Additional energy consumption due to

disruption. Calculated in separate

information provided

Was the TP target not met because the

supply disruption? YES

Was the TP target not met? YES


Novem: Add a new product introduced after the BY

• Use first 12 months of production and energy consumption for the

new product (if 12 months are not available contact facilitator)

• Select “NO” to the question “Was this a product in the base year?”

row 77 of the Section 4 of the Novem TPR s/s

• Insert the throughput value in the reporting spreadsheet (Section 4,

row 76) – even if this throughput did not occur in the BY

• Insert the “Equivalent Energy” in row 77. Equivalent energy is the

energy which would have been used in 2008 to produce the same

throughput.

• Let’s assume that the new product was introduce in 2012. The

reference energy in 2008 (BY) will be:

2008 0.000%

2009 1.250%

2010 2.500%

2011 3.750%

2012 5.000%

2013 6.250%

2014 7.500%

2015 8.750%

2016 10.000%

2017 11.250%

2018 12.500%

2019 13.750%

2020 15.000%
