For any site that might fail to meet the 1st Milestone Target, one of the most important ways of trying to avoid the loss of your CCL discount is to apply the Product Mix and Output Algorithm (PMOA).

The PMOA is a methodology that allows you to adjust your target if energy efficiency for the site has got worse for one of the following reasons:

1. Output has fallen since the base year.

2. Product mix has changed and you make products with higher average energy intensity than in the base year.

The following information will help sites with a CCA to derive a PMOA for their site:

1. Information Sheet 20 and NEW supplement to Information Sheet 20.
   
   
2. "Developing the PMOA - Nine Common Approaches. Nine common situations that many sites find themselves in and how to tackle applying the PMOA at each.
   
   
3. Dummy Submissions for each Common Approach. An example of how each of the nine Common Approach (CA) pre-approval documents should be presented to DEFRA.
   CA1, CA2, CA3, CA5, CA6, CA7, CA8, CA9 and C10
   
   
4. Applying the PMOA - 2 Simple Examples. Examples of how to targets are adjusted.
   
   
5. Feedback from three Case Studies. Case studies were undertaken to assess how the PMOA could be applied at three sites within the food and drink industry.
