Whether you are driven by environmental issues or price or both, understanding and managing your exposure to the carbon market is an essential ingredient in energy price risk management.

Ireland’s energy users are presented with an exposure to the European Union Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS) and to other carbon charges and taxes in a variety of ways:

•    For large thermal users, directly via the EU ETS scheme
•    Through electricity supply contracts, via explicit or embedded hedges
•    On fuel use, including site fuel use and road haulage costs

Since the commencement of phase three of the EU ETS scheme on 1 January 2013, the elimination of free carbon allowances (EUAs) for power generators and a reduction in allowances for other EU ETS participants has presented an even greater challenge for large energy users.
