Auctions of EU emission allowances (EUA) by the UK in respect of generation of electricity in Northern Ireland for the single wholesale electricity market in Ireland and Northern Ireland:
Due to the Brexit in 2021, the UK is no longer part of the EU. However, pursuant to the Protocol of Ireland and Northern Ireland, the EU ETS applies to generation of electricity in Northern Ireland.
Therefore, EEX will auction a small volume of allowances on behalf of the UK corresponding to its share in the Union-wide cap.
The EUA for Northern Ireland will auctioned during the following times:
23 February 2022: 1,108,500 EUA (volume of 2021)
21 September 2022: 1,246,000 EUA (volume of 2022)
The 2022 volumes may change as a result of the operation of the Market Stability Reserve (MSR) for the period of September to December 2022.
The bidding window for all EUA auctions on EEX will be open from 9:00 to 11:00 am CET.
Clearing and settlement of all emission allowances is conducted by the European Commodity Clearing (ECC).
