Statutory guidance: EU ETS Phase III: guidance for installations

Updated: We have amended this guidance to reflect the changes to requirements in the UK Regulations which came into force 27 December 2017. In summary, the key changes are the revised reporting and surrender deadlines relating to the 2018 scheme year.

This guidance will help you meet your obligations under the UK Regulations and applicable European legislation.

It explains:

  • whether you need a permit under the UK Regulations
  • how to make applications (including permit applications)
  • how to comply with the conditions in your permit

It’s divided into 5 sections:

  1. Do I have any obligations under the EU ETS?
  2. How do I apply for a permit?
  3. I have a permit, what do I need to do now?
  4. Things have changed, what should I do?
  5. I’m not happy with a decision, what should I do?
