Revised 2022 and 2023 auction calendars published

The published calendars reflect the operation of the Market Stability Reserve (MSR) until 31 August 2023. Following the publication by the Commission on 12 May 2022 of the total number of allowances in circulation in 2021, auction volumes from September 2022 to August 2023 are reduced by 347 811 404 allowances, which are placed in the MSR.

The revised 2022 volumes will apply to auctions from September to December 2022, starting with the auction by the common auction platform on 1 September.

In 2023, auctions by the common auction platform will continue to take place on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays, starting on 9 January. Auctions by Germany will be held weekly on Fridays, starting on 13 January. Auctions on behalf of Poland are scheduled bi-weekly on Wednesdays, starting on 18 January.

In addition, EEX will conduct in 2023 six aviation auctions as the common auction platform, as well as one aviation auction each for Germany and Poland.

Further to the Protocol on Ireland/Northern Ireland, the UK will auction a volume of allowances corresponding to its share in the Union-wide cap. The auctions for Northern Ireland will take place on 21 September 2022 and 4 October 2023.
