The main rule for allocation of the allowances from this reserve requires that installations which are delayed to register receive no more allowances than the allowances they would receive if they registered on time, using the same methodology. Depending on the specific year, in which delayed installations are registered, the following procedure for allocation of allowances is observed: 1. Installations which are registered in the period 30.11.2005 - 28.02.2006, are included in the final list of installations participating in the emission trading scheme and receive the same quantity of allowances, as if they have registered on time, using the same methodology. They shall be included in the Plan notified to the EC. If the total quantity of allowances in the reserve turns out to be insufficient, all installations which are registered with a delay within this period, receive a reduced number of allowances proportionally to the shortage of allowances, and installations registered with a delay within the next years, do not receive allowances free of charge. 2. Installations registered after 28.02.2006 but before the end of 2007 receive for 2007 the same number of allowances as the number they would receive in case of timely registration, using the same methodology. In the case that an installation obtains a valid emission trading permit during 2007, it receives for 2007 a number of allowances proportional to the remaining period until the end of the year, calculated in calendar days. If the quantity of the reserve is insufficient, all installations which are delayed to register, receive a reduced number of allowances, proportional to the shortage of allowances. Installations registered with a delay within the next years do not receive allowances free of charge. 3. Installations which receive a valid emission trading permit in 2008, receive 5% less allowances than if they registered on time, for each year of the trading period, using the same methodology. If the quantity of the reserve is insufficient, all installations which delay to register in 2008, receive a reduced number of allowances, proportional to the shortage, and installations which are registered with a delay during the next years, do not receive free of charge allowances. 4. Installations which delay to register for each of the next years, receive another 5% less allowances for each year of delay. Thus, an installation which register in 2012, shall receive 25% less allowances. If the quantity of the reserve turns out to be insufficient or runs out in the respective year, all installations, which delay to register during the respective year, receive a reduced number of allowances, proportional to the shortage, and installations which receive an emission trading permit in the next years, don’t receive allowances free of charge. If an installation’s emission trading permit is issued after the beginning of a respective year, the installation receives only a part of the allowances allocated to it. This part is proportional to the remaining period until the end of the year, calculated in calendar days. The final quantity of allowances to be allocated to installations after 28 February, 2006 shall be determined before 15 January of the year which follows the year of registration. Each year the not allocated allowances remaining in the reserve for delayed installations shall be transferred to the reserve for new entrants.

Allowances which are not used in the development of the NAP are added up to the reserve for new entrants.
Installations for which a date is not yet planned for the introduction of compulsory measures, may apply for additional allowances as a new entrant, when submitting an application for update of the permit regarding the introduction of the measure.
Reserve for new entrants (except for cogeneration)
The methodology of the EC allows the formation of a reserve for new entrants in the Scheme.
New entrant is each installation corresponding to the definition in section 5.2.1. above.
The rules for allocation allowances differ for each type of new entrant.
In this section are described new entrants – installations newly constructed in the period 2004 – 2012, whose start is:
а) planned or known, or
б) unknown yet,
but in both cases is part of the macroeconomic forecasting.
This reserve is formed within the projected quantity of allowances for the respective group of installations or sector.
For each group (g) the reserve is calculated as a sum of the reserves for the individual new installations, according to the Methodology.
The reserve for a single new installation (i) for one year (j) is defined (and then allocated) on the basis of the forecast production volume of the new installation for the respective year
and the emission factor of the operating installation
which has the lowest emissions per production unit for one year from the period 2002-2004 from all installations in the group “g”. In the energy sector, the emission factor is defined also by type of fuel (local and imported coal, natural gas, oil, oil residue and other types of fuels).
For this purpose, for each group of installations, the installation with the lowest emissions is defined when the analysis of the emissions from participants in the Scheme for the period 2002–2004.
Applicants to be included in the list of planned or known new entrants are presented by owners of new installations, MOEW, MEE, MRDPW and other interested organizations. Planned production volumes are subject to approval by the Working Group. These installations are included in the allowances allocation list and will receive allowances after they obtain a valid emission trading permit and start the operation of the installation.
Unknown new entrants
At the stage of macroeconomic projecting, allowances are set aside in the reserve for unknown new entrants.

For installations which undergo changes in nature or functioning or extension, the following allocation principle is applied:
When a sleeping installation submits an application to obtain an emission trading permit because of the restoration of its activities and the permit is issued, the installation receives allowances under the rules for new entrants – newly constructed installations, - but the average emission factor for the type of activity from the base year of the sector is applied to such installation.
New entrants receive allowances after obtaining an emission trading permit and the commissioning of the installation. When this happens after the beginning of the respective year, the installation receives for this year a number of allowances that is proportional to the remaining period of the year calculated in calendar days.
The business plan of the operator of an installation and the integrated permit are used, when it is necessary to determine the production volume of a new entrant.
Allowances remaining in the reserve for new entrants at the end of the year are added up to the reserve for the next year.
Reserves for new cogeneration
Two reserves for cogeneration are formed and
, which are part of the reserve for new entrants for each year of the period.
– reserve of allowances for emissions from power generation of new natural gas cogeneration.
– reserve of allowances for emissions from generation of heating from new entrants with cogeneration in the scheme. It reflects the transformation of an installation with thermal power below 20 MW in a cogeneration with thermal power over 20 MW, and it is included in the trading scheme.
The volume shows total emissions in the country from electric energy generation of new natural gas cogeneration and increases the emissions in the cogeneration sector. The increase is determined on the basis of expected production of electric energy from a new cogeneration with an emission factor 0,33 t CO2/MWh. This factor is applied in case the conditions (fuel consumption) for heat generation remain the same after the introduction of the cogeneration. The purpose of this reserve is to promote Government’s policy on support of effective cogeneration.
The volume of – is equal to the volume of emissions form heating generation of new entrants with cogeneration in the scheme, which will transform a heat installation with thermal power under 20 MW into a cogeneration with thermal power over 20 MW, and this way it is included in the scheme. This reserve is neutral regarding the overall emissions for the country. It increases allowances available in the sector cogeneration for new entrants in the scheme and reduces, by the same quantity, the emissions in the group of non-participants.
The volume of the reserves is determined on the basis of Bulgaria’s targets regarding introduction of new highly effective cogeneration. For a target of 18% , the reserve is determined as the difference between forecasted and target production of electric energy is multiplied by an emission factor 0,33 t CO2/MWh. The quantity of allowances for heat generation installations of below 20 MW power is set to 20% of the allowances allocated to the production of electric energy.

In transfers of emission reduction units under JI projects implemented in installations covered by the scheme, when the projects fall under the definition of direct double counting, the respective quantity of allowances is cancelled from the respective account of the installation in the national register.
If there are any surplus allowances in the RNE at the end of 2007, these will be auctioned. In addition, allowances allocated to an operator who is not able to receive a permit, will be auctioned. The Government will use the incomes from auctions to cover expenses related to the implementation of the Scheme.
Operators of installations who are heating companies, may apply for correction of the allocation of allowances as a result of the standardization of degrees/day, if in the served region the values of day/degrees in the basic period (the two years with highest emissions in the period 2002-2004) were lower than the average long standing values.
Based on historical data, it was found that during this period the average winter temperatures were higher than the average long term temperatures. In relation to this fact, the quantity of annual allowances to be allocated to heating companies increases by RDHcold. The quantity is calculated based on numeric data from the NIMH, the MEE and the SEWRC for the heating in the discussed period. The average monthly temperatures during this period were with 1,14 ºC higher than the average long term temperatures. If the two values were equal, the energy necessary for heating would by higher by 3,4%. Therefore, the reserve is set to 3,4% of the emissions from heating companies in 2003. The correction per installation for each additional TJ thermal power, which would be sold if the temperature would be equal to the average long term temperatures, has been determined, depending on the type of fuel and the production method, as follows:
If the sum of corrections requested by the installations is higher than the reserve set aside, individual requests will be re-calculated proportionally, so that their sum becomes equal to the reserve. If the total reserve is not spent, the remaining allowances will be cancelled.
5.2.3 Is information already available on the number of new entrants to expect (through applications for purchase of land, construction permits, other environmental permits etc.)? Have new or updated greenhouse gas emissions permits been granted to operators whose installations are still under construction, but whose intention it is to start a relevant activity during the period 2007- 2008? |
