On the basis of the German National Allocation Plan (NAP II) for the second trading period (2008-2012) of the European Trading System, which the Federal Government conveyed to the European Commission for notification on June 30, 2006, the Ministry for the Environment submitted a draft for the Allocation Act 2012 (ZuG 2012).

The law specifies the allocation rules for the second trading period (2008-2012) and may have substantial influence on investment decisions for new power plant buildings.
85 percent of the average historical emissions in the years 2000-2005 will be allocated to existing power plants. For new power plants a bench mark approach with fixed emission values and standard loading factors is intended.
