Leipzig, 25 May 2016. The European Energy Exchange (EEX), in its capacity as the transitional common auction platform acting on behalf of Poland, could not execute today's auction of EU Emission Allowances (EUAs), because it would have cleared below the reference price. The reference price is calculated on the basis of the secondary market price during the bidding window.
In accordance with the rules governing the auctions (EU Auctioning Regulation), the auction has been cancelled. The auction volume will now be evenly distributed over the next four scheduled auctions. The auction calendar will be adjusted accordingly and an updated version will be published soon.
The European Energy Exchange (EEX) is the leading energy exchange in Europe. It develops, operates and connects secure, liquid and transparent markets for energy and commodity products. At EEX, contracts on Power, Coal and Emission Allowances as well as Freight and Agricultural Products are traded or registered for clearing. Alongside EEX, EPEX SPOT, Powernext, Cleartrade Exchange (CLTX) and Gaspoint
Nordic are also part of EEX Group. Clearing and settlement of trading transactions are provided by the clearing house European Commodity Clearing (ECC).
