1. the quantity of each type of fuel or energy commodity used for the purposes of producing or providing energy in respect of the business activity, during the calendar year covered by the report, expressed as a measured value; and
2. the quantity of the annual energy consumption, intended output and specific energy consumption figures of the energy-consuming systems as measured values, the aggregate energy consumption of which is at least 80% of the total energy consumption of the business activity
