The European Energy Exchange (EEX) is pleased to announce its re-appointment as common auction platform for CO2 emission allowances, following the completion of a joint procurement procedure. The European Commission has signed a contract with EEX and its clearing house European Commodity Clearing (ECC) for running Europe-wide primary market emissions auctions on behalf of 25 participating Member States for another period of up to 5 years.
The last auction under the previous contract is scheduled for Thursday 18 August and the start of the auctions under the new contract is scheduled for Monday, 5 September. The auctions tentatively planned in the published auction calendar between 22 August and 1 September will accordingly not take place and the respective volumes will be distributed over the remaining auctions of 2016. The total volumes of general and aviation allowances to be auctioned in 2016 remain unchanged.
As Poland currently uses the common auction platform, pending the appointment of its own platform, the continuation of the Polish auctions is subject to the conclusion of a separate bilat-eral arrangement between EEX und Poland.
EEX will publish the auction calendar, including the respective volumes, in due time before the start of the auctions. For further information on the auction platform please see also: ETS Regulatory Update.
