The results of Ontario’s third (3rd) Cap and Trade auction (held September 6th, 2017) point to another very successful auction with 100% of the available 2017 vintage allowances being purchased, and more from the 2020 vintage allowances.
GHG allowance auctions take place on a quarterly basis. The first year of this compliance period (2017-2020) is Ontario only - Ontario intends to join California and Quebec for joint auctions and market activity in 2018.
In addition, please note the list of registered participants in Ontario’s cap and trade program has been updated. The list can be found here. This is a list of all the capped and market participants that are registered in Ontario’s Cap and Trade Program and have accounts in the Compliance Instrument Tracking System Service (CITSS), as of September, 2017.The purpose of this list is to facilitate both market activity and compliance with program requirements, and enhance the accountability and transparency of Ontario’s cap and trade program.
