Today, the European Energy Exchange (EEX) carried out the fourth primary market auction of European emission allowances (EUA) on behalf of the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs, Agriculture & Innovation and the Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and the Environment.
The volume of 1 million EUA was auctioned off as planned. The total amount of bids was 3,278,000 EUA. Thus, participants demanded more than 3 times the auction volume. In the auction in which 7 companies took part the price was determined at EUR
6.95 per EUA. At the time of the auction, the reference price in secondary trading on the EEX Spot Market amounted to EUR 7.00 per EUA.
On 19 April and 14 June EEX will auction-off a volume of 1 million EUA each on the Spot Market on behalf of the Dutch Ministries.
EEX and Eurex offer their participants a platform for trading in CO2 emission allowances. Within the framework of this co-operation, which was launched in December 2007, the Eurex participants can trade the CO2 derivatives products listed on EEX through their existing infrastructure and a simplified admission process.
