Upon consultation with the European Commission and the participating Member States as well as with the competent German and Polish authorities, the European Energy Exchange (EEX) has determined the 2015 auction calendar for EU allowances (EUA) and EU aviation allowances (EUAA).
EU auction platform
In its capacity as the transitional common auction platform appointed by 25 Member States, EEX will conduct the EUA auctions on three days per week – each Monday, Tuesday and Thursday – from 8 January until 17 December 2015. EUAA auctions will be carried out on pre-determined Wednesdays, starting on 14 January 2015.
Auctions for Germany
In its capacity as the auction platform appointed by the Federal Republic of Germany, EEX will conduct weekly EUA auctions on Fridays, starting on 9 January until 11 December 2015. EUAA auctions will be carried out on two pre-determined Wednesdays, on 25 February and 7 October 2015.
Auctions for Poland
EEX will conduct EUA auctions for Poland on Wednesdays, starting on 28 January until 18 November 2015. EUAAs will be auctioned on Wednesday, 25 March 2015. EEX conducts these auctions on a transitional basis in its capacity as the common auction platform pending the appointment by Poland of its ‘own’ auction platform.
For EU and German EUA auctions and all EUAA auction on the Spot Market, EEX will open the bidding window from 9.00 to 11.00 a.m. CET. For Polish EUA Auctions, the bidding window will be open from 1.00 to 3.00 p.m. CET.
