<p>If an installation has been offline for a calendar year and has reported a permanent cessation of activity, then free allowances are not distributed in the year after activity is permanently ceased. However, installations will retain free allowances they were entitled to in the final year during which they operate. Installations can choose whether to use these allowances for future compliance, or to sell them on the secondary market.</p><p> </p><p>Where an operator does not report a permanent cessation and instead restarts activity after being offline, these free allowances will be subject to the Activity Level Change process.
