UK extends allocation deadline

摘要

six months to apply for free allowances from its new entrants reserve (NER) programme to use for compliance under phase 2 (2008-12) of the EU emissions trading scheme (ETS). The country's Department of Energy and Climate Change (Decc) has extended the deadline for applications to 28 February 2013 from 1 September 2012. The move aims to "give the greatest flexibility for operators to obtain allowances for any installations commencing new EU ETS activities, as well as incumbent operators who have capacity increases, before the end of 2012", Decc says.
