Assessment Instructions

Intent: What is the purpose of this indicator?

Establish the age of the entity.

Input: How do I complete this indicator?

Operation commencement: State the year when the entity first commenced or is expected to commence operation.

If the reporting entity represents a single facility, then the year entered should be when that facility commenced operation. If the reporting entity represents a portfolio of facilities being assessed as one asset (i.e. multi-facility asset) then it should be when the first facility in the portfolio commenced operation.

If the entity is still under construction (sometimes known as a greenfield asset), the expected year that operations will commence should be given.

If the entity is both in construction and operational, then enter the year in which the first part of the project commenced operations.

*Values in the Entity Characteristics (EC) aspect are fixed to one entity, regardless of assessment year. In order to update these please select the 'Manage Entity' setting in the 'Assessment Portal'.
