SB 6058: Carbon market linkage

Facilitating linkage of Washington's carbon market with the California-Quebec carbon market.

Summary

  • Authorizes the Department of Ecology (Ecology) to change the length of the compliance periods under the Cap and Invest Program (Program).
  • Modifies the definitions and policies related to electricity importing and reports.
  • Increases the percent of allowances a covered or opt-in entity may buy from 10 percent to 25 percent in a single auction.
  • Continues to prohibit a general market participant from owning more than 10 percent of the total allowances issued in any calendar year, until Washington's Program is linked with another jurisdiction.
  • Clarifies when offset projects on tribal lands or from jurisdictions linked with Washington apply toward compliance obligations.
  • Eliminates Ecology's discretion to reduce penalties for failure to submit compliance instruments, after Ecology enters into a linkage agreement or at the end of the first compliance period.
