Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, whether the Government has made any amendments to the EU Emissions Trading System installation cessation rules since setting up the UK Emissions Trading System.

The UK ETS Authority sought to ensure continuity for businesses in setting up the UK Emission Trading Scheme. The rules on cessations have been kept substantially the same within the UK Emissions Trading Scheme as they were in the EU Emissions Trading Scheme, with only minor administrative amendments to reflect that this is a domestic scheme and the role of the UK ETS Authority.
