- Cap-and-Trade Program
- August: "practice auction"
- November: 1st auction
As part of the cap-and-trade program, ARB will hold quarterly
allowance auctions each year. This will allow market participants
to acquire allowances directly from ARB. ARB will hold its first
auction in summer of 2012. As part of program implementation in
2012, staff will provide a detailed Instructional Guidance Document (coming soon!)
and training to auction participants. In general, auction
participants will have to register to participate in the auction and
meet financial regulatory requirements.
Please check back soon for more information and related forms.
