‘ANNEX II
Electricity consumption efficiency benchmarks and annual reduction rates for products referred to in Annex I
|
—
|
Electricity consumption efficiency benchmarks for products referred to in Annex I with exchangeability of fuel and electricity:
Products for which exchangeability of fuel and electricity was established in Section 2 of Annex I to Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/331.
Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/331 in Annex I established that in respect of certain products there is substitutability between fuel and electricity. For those products, it is not appropriate to set a benchmark on the basis of MWh/t of product. Instead, starting points are the specific greenhouse gases emission curves derived for the direct emissions. For those products, the product benchmarks were determined on the basis of the sum of direct emissions (from energy and process emissions), as well as indirect emissions arising from the use of the inter-exchangeable part of the electricity.
In those cases, factor “E” in the formula for the calculation of the maximum aid as referred to in point 28(a) of these Guidelines is to be replaced by the following term that converts a product benchmark laid down in Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/331 into an electricity consumption efficiency benchmark on the basis of an average European CO2 emission factor of 0,376 tCO2/MWh:
Existing product benchmark from Annex section 2 from Regulation 2021/447 (in tCO2/t) × share of relevant indirect emissions over the baseline period (%)/0,376 (tCO2/MWh).
The value of the efficiency benchmarks for products with exchangeability of fuel and electricity to be applied in the period 2021 – 2025 can be found in the Regulation (EU) 2021/447 of 12 March 2021 determining revised benchmark values for free allocation of emission allowances for the period 2021 to 2025 pursuant to Article 10a(2) of Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council.

Efficiency benchmarks for products referred to in Annex I that are not listed in Table 1 of this Annex
The fall back electricity consumption efficiency benchmark as defined in point 15 number 15 of these Guidelines is applicable for all eligible products referred to in Annex I for which an electricity consumption efficiency benchmark is not defined.

|
Updated efficiency benchmarks for certain products referred to in Annex I
Table 1 lists the benchmark values that should be used as a starting point for the determination of the applicable efficiency benchmark for a specific year, taking into account the corresponding annual reduction rate.
That annual reduction rate describes by how much the benchmarks will be automatically reduced annually. Unless stated otherwise in Table 1, all efficiency benchmarks (including the “fall back electricity consumption efficiency benchmark”) shall be reduced (as from year t = 2022) by 1,09 % on an annual basis, according to the following formula:
efficiency benchmark applicable in (year t) = benchmark value in 2021 * (1 + annual reduction rate) ^ (year t – 2021)
