Following the TNAC announcement in early June, the European Commission released a note detailing the final auction volumes for 2024 and published a preliminary schedule for the 2025 auction volumes. As anticipated, the Commission did not allocate additional volumes for the RePower EU initiative, which could have increased bearish pressures. Instead, with the REPowerEU volumes remaining unchanged for 2024, the market will likely reflect increased confidence in achieving the EUR 20 billion target for RePower EU from auction proceeds. The TNAC announcement at the beginning of June led to 266.8 million allowances being placed in the MSR for the September 2024 - August 2025 period. As a result, a portion of these allowances will be removed from the auction volumes scheduled between September and December 2024 and the remainder from January to September 2025. For the September - December 2024 period, this adjustment means a reduction of nearly 200 million EUAs, reflected in the revised calendar. The remaining 66.8 million allowances will be deducted from the January - August 2025 volumes, already reflected in the published volumes. The 2024 auctions will conclude on December 16, 2024, before the winter break, and resume on January 7, 2025. Starting January 2025, aviation allowances will be incorporated into the "general allowances" category, distributed evenly across the scheduled auctions. As usual, the auctions will take place on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays on behalf of the 25 EU Member States as well as for the Innovation Fund, the Modernisation Fund, the InnoFundRRF, the MS RRF and the new Social Climate Fund. Polish Auctions will continue to be held bi-weekly on Wednesdays, and German Auctions on Fridays. The auction for the Northern Ireland will take place on October 8, 2025. The volume for January - August 2025 is set at 396.6 million allowances, and the preliminary volume for September - December 2025 is set at 284.3 million, totalling 681 million allowances for 2025. The 2025 auction calendar includes 86.685 million allowances frontloaded for the REPowerEU initiative and 50 million allowances for the Social Climate Fund.

☀ On 24 July 2024, British Columbia’s (B.C.) Ministry of Environment and Climate Change Strategy released supporting materials for the province’s Output-Based Pricing System (OBPS): B.C. OBPS Reporting Guidance and the Allocation Calculator. ☀ Some may recall that on 1 April 2024, the B.C. OBPS came into effect, replacing the province’s CleanBC Industrial Incentive Program (CIIP). Under the OBPS, regulated facilities are exempt from paying the provincial Carbon Tax at the point of purchase for fossil fuels, and instead will report and comply on the previous year’s emissions and face the cost of carbon on emissions emitted above a prescribed emissions limit. Why is this release important? ☀ The B.C. OBPS Reporting Guidance provides guidance to regulated facilities on obligations for reporting emissions and production. This includes the types of data required for the annual report, the compliance summary, and product-specific quantification guidance (quantification formulas, emissions categories, etc.). ☀ Annual reports are also required to be verified by a third-party accredited verification body. More information about the verification statement template will be available later in 2024. ☀ The Allocation Calculator was also released, providing a template for regulated facilities to complete with facility-specific data and estimate their emissions limits and compliance obligations. This calculator builds upon the previously released Annual Calculator. ☀ ClearBlue is following this development closely and supporting facilities regulated by the B.C. OBPS to understand the transition from CIIP to the new program. For more information about this announcement and how it may impact your strategy or to become a ClearBlue Vantage subscriber, please contact ClearBlue’s Advisory team. https://lnkd.in/gWjF7Tac cc Chloe McElhone, Fiona Oliver-Glasford
