The allocation table has been updated with amendments to operators’ allowances as a result of Activity Level Changes.

To reduce the risk of carbon leakage, operators covered by the UK Emissions Trading Scheme (UK ETS) with a valid application are provided with a free allocation of allowances.

The Allocation Table contains a list of each installation’s free allocation for the 2021 to 2026 allocation period. This has replaced the 2021-2025 allocation table, following the UK ETS Authority’s announcement to extend the current allocation period to include 2026.

the 2026 scheme year is treated as an extension of the current allocation period for the purposes of determining the quantity of free allowances received by installations, subject to change through the activity level change process

if your installation will receive FA for the first time in 2026, or your installation has sub-installations newly eligible to receive FA due to changes in rules for electricity generators, verified 2023 activity data submitted as part of the baseline data collection has been used to determine free allocation for the 2026 scheme year

if you were in receipt of free allocation in 2021-2025 and have joined the 2026-2030 Hospital and Small Emitter or Ultra-Small Emitter list, you will not be in receipt of free allocation in 2026

for more information on the 2026 allocation period, please see the UK ETS Authority response to Moving the second UK ETS free allocation period

Some of the 2026 Standard (A) and NER (B) column entries have been intentionally left blank, with only the Total (C) column showing a value. This signifies that the operator’s total free allocation figure may still be subject to change based on the 2025 Activity Level Change process. These figures are under review, and the cells will be populated once the Authority has approved any adjustments to entitlement that may be required.

To note on the 2027-2030 allocation period:
