Request for Data from Installations included in Phase II of EU ETS
The Environment Agency issued a request for data on 6 March 2006 to all installations that will be included in Phase 2 of the EU Emissions Trading Scheme. This request does not apply to most installations that were registered for Phase 1. Operators who must send in the data requested include those:
• who have not previously submitted historic emissions data (for example - expansion activities)
• whose Phase I baseline data contained errors
• who had benchmarks applied in the Phase 1 National Allocation Plan
• who wish to apply for Allocation Methodology Rules.
For more information on who should send in data see the Environment Agency’s website at: http://www.environment-agency.gov.uk/emissionstrading?lang=_e
Installations that are already registered should have submitted a verified report of the Annual Reportable Emissions made during 2005 to the Environment Agency by 31st March 2006. By 30th April 2006, registered installations must surrender allowances equal to the Annual Reportable Emissions specified in their verified report. Failure to surrender sufficient allowances by 30th April will lead to civil penalties equivalent to €40 per tonne of carbon emitted, in addition to the outstanding requirement to surrender allowances.
To surrender allowances, an installation must have a valid Registry Account that can be accessed by its nominated Authorised Representatives.
