Polish electricity sector asks for solidarity pool inside EU ETS

Polish Electricity Association (PKEE) asks European Commission for “solidarity pool” to compensate the costs of climate policy where it is most needed.

PKEE calls on the Commission to bolster the compensatory mechanisms established by the EU ETS Directive proportionally to the more stringent climate commitments, i.e. to substantially increase the number of allowances dedicated to the Modernisation Fund and the “solidarity pool”. This increase should go beyond compensating for the reduced number of allowances caused by Brexit, and exceed 0.5 percent, as already stated in the EU ETS Directive – we read in a statement from PKEE.
