a
where electricity generated using the total installed capacity of the station as at 31st March 2011 (“the March 2011 capacity”) is measured separately from electricity generated using capacity which has been added to the station since that date, the electricity to which this article applies which is generated using the station’s March 2011 capacity;
b
in any other case, the appropriate percentage of the electricity to which this article applies (the appropriate percentage for these purposes being the total installed capacity of the station as at 31st March 2011 expressed as a percentage of the total installed capacity of the pre-2013 capacity of the station as at the date of generation of the electricity).
