Two important Ontario cap-and-trade deadlines are fast approaching:

  1. Participants must apply for free allowances by September 1, 2016.
  2. Participants must register with the Compliance Instrument Tracking System Service ("CITSS") by November 30, 2016.

Training sessions for free allowances and CITSS registration are ongoing. Only certain facilities are eligible for free allowances. Mandatory and voluntary participants in the cap-and-trade program can first apply for free allowances and then register for CITSS. 

For more information on the cap-and-trade program and a complete cap-and-trade program timeline, see our previous article:  A guide to Ontario's cap-and-trade regime.
