New entrants
The Government has set aside a certain number of allowances in a
New Entrant Reserve (NER) to allow eligible new entrants, free of
charge, into the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS).
The Government decides on the types of new entrants that are
eligible to apply for a free allocation of allowances from the
NER.
Eligible installations must apply to the relevant regulator for
allowances. Installations operating in Scotland can download an
application form for the Allocation of allowances from the New
Entrant Reserve by going to the Forms page.
You can calculate the allowances you need using the benchmarking
spreadsheet available on the website for the Department for
Business Innovation & Skills (BIS). Further information is
available in the National Allocation Plan Appendix D, also
available from
BIS website 
.
The Environment Agency provides a
summary report on its
website of all the installations that have applied for allowances
from the NER.
