Potomac observed the auction and confirmed that there was no material evidence of collusion or manipulation by bidders, and that the vast majority of bids were consistent with competitive expectations.

Overall, compliance entities accounted for 86 percent of the quantity of bids submitted in the current control period auction.
In the auction for future control period allowances, most of the bidders that submitted a large number of bids (e.g., at least 100,000 tons which is 5 percent of the available supply) were compliance entities. Overall, compliance entities accounted for 70 percent of the quantity of bids submitted in the future control period auction.
