Ontario’s Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change (MOECC) posted on the Environmental Registry February 25, 2016, a regulatory proposal for a new cap-and-trade regulation designed to generate approximately $1.8-1.9 billion per year to fund projects aimed at reducing emissions.
The proposed framework includes:
- An appendix presenting detailed technical information for the distribution of allowances to eligible capped emitters for the first compliance period;
- Details related to early reduction credits; and
- An overview of complementary amendments for the reporting regulation and incorporated guideline to support the program’s implementation.
