ETS 3 Applications for the Allocation of Allowances from the Phase II New Entrant Reserve

Applications to the Phase II NER can be made from those installations starting new entrant activities after 31 December 2007 and before 01 January 2013.

If you have previously obtained Phase I NER allowances for new entrant activities starting before 30 June 2006, these additional allowances will have already have been accounted for in your Phase II allocation contained in the Phase II NAP.

All applications for the Phase II NER will require independent verification, including those from Later Phase I New Entrants, where the input data used in the benchmarking spreadsheet has changed from that used in the Phase I NER application.

For guidance on the verification of Phase II NER applications and the Verification Opinion Statement template, see: Department for Business Enterprise & Regulatory ReformOpens in New window on the Department for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform website.

You can calculate the allowances you need using the benchmarking spreadsheet and further information is available in Appendix D to the Phase II National Allocation Plan also available on the EU ETS Phase 2: New Entrants and Closures page.
