EEX, which has already hosted two auctions for the sale of 1.7 million spot European Union Allowances (EUAs) for the Baltic nation, will organise another auction for an additional 850,000 EUAs, it said in a statement, reports LETA/ELTA.
"The auction date is not scheduled yet and will be published at least one month prior to the auctioning date," it said.
Earlier on Thursday, Lithuania sold 850,000 spot carbon permits via EEX at EUR7.46 a tonne each, raising EUR 6.34 million for government coffers.
Six companies took part in the auction, and the bidding volume amounted to more than 6 million EUAs, EEX said.
Last month, Lithuania raised just over EUR 6 million from its auction of 850,000 spot EUAs.
