Ecology publication 26-14-068, issued 17 July 2026: 'ECR Auction #1 is scheduled to take place on Wednesday, September 16, 2026.' Offers 731,000 VINTAGE 2023 allowances drawn from the Emissions Containment Reserve account. The 2026 Annual Auction Floor Price for current auctions (2026 and prior vintages) is 27.92 USD. ECR allowances are withheld supply RETURNING to the market, so this is a supply event in the opposite direction from the reserve's usual role. DELIBERATELY NOT ARMED as a fetch trigger. It is a number-producing event, but the number is not this tape's mark: a reserve clearing is a different instrument from the quarterly current-vintage settlement the washington-cca row carries (APCR allowances cannot even be transferred or sold on the secondary market). Arming it on the `wa` leg would point the collector at a price that must never become the row's current_price - a basis error the tape has no way to catch. Reader-facing calendar context only; if the desk ever wants these on the tape they need their own code and their own basis line, not this one.

Standard-offer RPS obligation sits with Delmarva; transitional-contract RECs transfer to the standard offer by Aug 1 (90%) and Sep 1; 26 Del. Admin. C. 3008.

Ecology publication 26-14-072, issued 31 July 2026: 'APCR Auction #8 is scheduled to take place on Wednesday, September 30, 2026.' Offers 172,348 allowances at a single fixed Tier 1 price of 65.26 USD; the Tier 2 tranche offers ZERO allowances, so only Tier 1 is operative (the Tier 2 level is in the notice and is deliberately not copied into this tracked file - it collides with a licensed curve inside the entitlement guard's tolerance, and the answer to a coincidence is to read it from the source, never to override the guard: B29). Allowances won are valid for 2025 entity compliance, are deposited straight into compliance accounts and CANNOT be transferred or sold on the secondary market - so an APCR clearing is not a secondary-market price and must never be quoted as a mark. DELIBERATELY NOT ARMED as a fetch trigger. It is a number-producing event, but the number is not this tape's mark: a reserve clearing is a different instrument from the quarterly current-vintage settlement the washington-cca row carries (APCR allowances cannot even be transferred or sold on the secondary market). Arming it on the `wa` leg would point the collector at a price that must never become the row's current_price - a basis error the tape has no way to catch. Reader-facing calendar context only; if the desk ever wants these on the tape they need their own code and their own basis line, not this one.
