When the change of the heat supplier under EU ETS rules leads to a significant change in the installations capacity, and consequently to a change in allocation of emission permits free of charge
- Category: Implementation
The fundamental change in the rules of the EU ETS as from 2013 consisting in the allocation of free emission allowances to the heat-benchmark sub-installations principally for the consumption of the heat (and for the production thereof in exceptional cases only) necessitates the careful examination of technical connections in the context of the allocation rules.
The importance of the good faith in the free circulation of greenhouse gases emission permits
- Category: Australia cap-and-trade
Emission trading schemes evidently evolve in the direction of attributing the decisive character of the entry in the registry as regards the proof of ownership over emission allowances while retaining the institution of ‘good faith’ as a some sort of ‘safety valve’ for the gross breaches of business honesty.
The Australian program represents the most recent manifestation in that regard.
Heat flows between installations and their influence on free allocation of emission permits
- Category: Implementation
Changes in heat flows between installations made after 30 June 2011 may significantly impact the level of free allocation of permits and, pursuant to the rules governing the EU ETS as from 2013, it may be sometimes effected in quite surprising way.
Capacity reductions in industrial sectors under EU ETS rules as from 2013
- Category: Implementation
Installation's capacity reductions need always be considered in the context of potential EUAs allocation.

The uniform “white certificates” scheme at the European Union level should not be expected in the foreseeable perspective.
What can be expected in 2013 as regards legislative developments in the energy market

2014 has been politically set as a target for the completion of the European internal market for electricity and gas. It is useful to know the schedule for adopting the main network codes in that regard.
