NR 432.05(1)(b)(b) Periodic updates of baseline energy output for units with more than 5 years operating data. The department shall use the procedures in this paragraph for calculating the unit baseline energy output for each CAIR NOx unit or CAIR renewable unit which has more than 5 years of operating data. NR 432.05(1)(b)1.1. In 2007, the department shall calculate the baseline energy output for each CAIR NOx unit for 2009 to 2014 allowances using data for the ozone seasons 2000 to 2004. NR 432.05(1)(b)2.2. On or before May 1, 2011, and on or before May 1 of every fifth year thereafter, the department shall calculate the baseline energy output for each CAIR NOx unit and each CAIR renewable unit for the next 5-year allocation period using data from the 5 ozone season period beginning 9 years before the first year of the allocation period and ending 5 years before the first year of the allocation period. NR 432.05 NoteNote: For example in 2021, unit baseline energy output for the calculation of allocation for 2025 to 2029 allowances will be calculated using ozone season data from the years 2016 to 2020. In 2026, unit baseline energy output for the calculation of the allocation for 2030 to 2034 will be calculated using ozone season data from 2021 to 2025.
NR 432.05(1)(c)(c) Baseline energy output for new units and units achieving 5 years of operating data for the first time. The department shall use the procedures in this paragraph for calculating the unit baseline energy output for each CAIR NOx unit or CAIR renewable unit which have only 5 years of operating data. NR 432.05(1)(c)1.1. On or before May 1, 2011, the department shall calculate the baseline energy output for each CAIR NOx unit and each CAIR renewable unit that commences operation on or after January 1, 2001 and that has operating data for the years 2006 to 2010 for 2015 to 2019 allowances using data for ozone seasons 2006 to 2010. NR 432.05(1)(c)2.2. On or before May 1, 2012, and on or before May 1 of every year thereafter, the department shall calculate the unit baseline energy output for each CAIR NOx unit and each CAIR renewable unit that has been operating for its first 5 consecutive years, using the first 5 ozone seasons of operating data. Once the unit’s baseline energy output has been established, the CAIR NOx unit or CAIR renewable unit’s baseline energy output shall be updated according to par. (b). NR 432.05 NoteNote: Starting in 2011, and every year thereafter, new units that commence operation on or after January 1, 2001 will have their unit baseline energy output calculated once the unit has 5 consecutive years of operating data. The 5 years of data do not have to be full years of data. Once the unit has 5 or more years of operating data, this unit is then incorporated into the state baselines calculated in s. NR 432.03 (1m) and receives allocations from the main allocation pool under s. NR 432.03 (2). These new units are incorporated into the main allocation pool on a yearly basis. NR 432.05(1)(d)(d) Baseline energy output for retired units. If a unit is retired in any year, the department shall calculate the baseline energy output according to par. (b). If a unit only operates a portion of the year, the data for that portion shall constitute the unit’s data for that year. NR 432.05 NoteNote: The following is an example of how a retired unit’s baseline energy output is calculated. A unit is retired in 2011. In 2011, unit baselines are updated using 2006 to 2010 ozone season data that will be used to calculate allocations for 2015 to 2019. For 2015 to 2019 allocations, the retired unit would receive all allowances based upon its unit baseline for 2006 to 2010 ozone season operating data even though it is no longer operating. In 2016, the next unit baseline updating year, the baseline for the unit would be determined using the most recent 5 years of ozone season data, 2011 to 2015. The 2016 updated baseline would be used to determine allocations for 2020 to 2025. If the unit had some operating data in 2011, it would receive minimal allowances in 2020 to 2025 based on the amount of electrical generation in the ozone season in 2011. The next unit update would occur in 2021 and would use 2015 to 2019 ozone season operating data. Since the unit would have no operating data for this time period it would no longer receive allocations. Under this procedure a unit that is retired in 2011 could receive allowances until 2025.
NR 432.05(1)(e)(e) Data used for energy generation baselines. In performing the unit energy output baseline calculations under pars. (a) to (d), the department shall use data reported by the CAIR designated representative to EPA under 40 CFR part 97, Subpart HH and available from the EPA and data reported by the CAIR renewable representative to the department under s. NR 432.07. If the required data is unavailable from the EPA, the department shall request the required data directly from the unit’s CAIR designated representative. If the representative does not provide data within 30 days of the department’s request, the department shall estimate the unit’s baseline energy output using best available data. NR 432.05(1m)(a)(a) Prior to 2011, the department shall establish the state baseline by summing the unit baselines calculated according to sub. (1) for all CAIR NOx units listed in Table 2. NR 432.05(1m)(b)(b) In 2011 and annually thereafter, the department shall calculate an ozone season state baseline by summing the unit baselines calculated according to sub. (1) for all CAIR NOx units and all CAIR renewable units. NR 432.05 NoteNote: The state baseline is updated starting in 2011 annually to incorporate new units that have 5 years of operating data and have established a baseline under s. NR 432.03 (a) and (b). Once a new unit has established a baseline, it is eligible for allowances from the main allocation pool. NR 432.05(2)(2) Allowance allocation for units with 5 or more years of operation data. NR 432.05(2)(a)(a) In 2007, and in 2011 and annually thereafter, the department shall allocate to all CAIR NOx units and CAIR renewable units for which a unit baseline has been calculated under sub. (1), a total amount of CAIR NOx ozone season allowances equal to 93% of the tons of NOx emissions in the trading budget for Wisconsin in 40 CFR 97.340. NR 432.05(2)(b)(b) The department shall allocate CAIR NOx ozone season allowances to each unit in an amount determined by equation 11: Equation 11

(b) and that commenced operation on or after January 1, 2001 and for which a baseline energy output cannot be determined under sub. (1), in accordance with the following procedures: NR 432.05(3)(a)(a) For 2009 and each year thereafter, the department shall establish a new unit set-aside consisting of all CAIR NOx ozone season allowances available for new units in that year. The new unit set-aside in each year shall be equal to 7% of the amount of tons of NOx emissions in the trading budget under 40 CFR 97.340 for Wisconsin. NR 432.05(3)(b)(b) The CAIR designated representative of a CAIR NOx unit that commenced operation on or after January 1, 2001, may submit to the department a request to be allocated CAIR NOx ozone season allowances under this subsection, starting with 2009 or the first calendar year after the calendar year in which the CAIR NOx unit commences commercial operation, whichever is later, and until the first calendar year for which the unit is eligible for and is allocated CAIR NOx ozone season allowances under sub. (2). The CAIR NOx ozone season allocation request shall be submitted on or before May 1 of the calendar year for which the CAIR NOx ozone season allowances are requested and after the date on which the CAIR NOx unit commences commercial operation. NR 432.05(3)(c)(c) In a CAIR NOx ozone season allocation request under par. (b), the CAIR designated representative may not request CAIR NOx ozone season allowances exceeding the CAIR NOx unit’s total tons of NOx emissions during the calendar year immediately before the calendar year of the request. NR 432.05(3)(d)(d) The department shall review each CAIR NOx ozone season allocation request submitted under par. (b) and allocate CAIR NOx ozone season allowances for each calendar year as follows: NR 432.05(3)(d)1.1. The department shall establish the maximum amount of new unit set-aside CAIR NOx ozone season allowances a unit is eligible for based upon a request submitted under par. (b). NR 432.05(3)(d)2.2. Before June 1 of each calendar year, the department shall determine the sum of all CAIR NOx ozone season allowances established under subd. 1. for all new units in the calendar year. NR 432.05(3)(d)3.3. If the amount of CAIR NOx ozone season allowances in the new unit set-aside for the calendar year under par. (a) is greater than or equal to the sum determined under subd. 2., the department shall allocate the amount of CAIR NOx ozone season allowances determined under subd. 1. to each CAIR NOx unit for which an allocation request was submitted. NR 432.05(3)(d)4.4. If the amount of the CAIR NOx ozone season allowances in the new unit set-aside for the calendar year under par. (a) is less than the sum determined under subd. 2., the department shall allocate to each CAIR NOx unit for which the department established a maximum amount under subd. 1. greater than zero, an amount determined using equation 12: where:
