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.  

A corrected vintage 2027 EITE allocation schedule is now available on the no-cost allowance allocation webpage. The schedule posted yesterday contained incorrect information in Table 1 and Table 2 that has since been updated.  

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.
