The Climate Commitment Act (CCA) requires Ecology to allocate allowances at no cost to emissions-intensive, trade-exposed facilities (EITEs) as part of the Cap-and-Invest Program.  Ecology distributes no-cost allowances to EITE facilities annually, in accordance with the timeframes set out in WAC 173-446-260.  

The vintage 2027 EITE allocation schedule is now posted on the no-cost allowance allocation webpage.   

The methods for calculating how many no-cost allowances EITEs are entitled to receive are set out in WAC 173-446-220. More information on EITEs and allowance allocation can be found on the Emissions-intensive, trade-exposed industries (EITEs) webpage.
