TEQs(Tradable Energy Quotas)

What they are

How they work

Why we need them

WHAT TEQs ARE FOR

1. Guaranteeing that our national carbon budget is achieved

2. Empowering communities and building a common purpose

3. Securing fair access to fuel at times of deep scarcity

What are TEQs?

Tradable Energy Quotas arean electronic system for rationing

carbon-rated energy

for all energy users.at national level

,,

All individuals receive an unconditional free Entitlement to TEQs units.

All other users obtain their units through the weekly Tender (auction).

Individuals who use less than their Entitlement may sell them and benefit from their energy-thrift.

Those who want or need more may buy them from those who are selling.

Units are surrendered in addition to cash payment when fuel or energy is purchased.
