Clean Energy Regulator contracts Deloitte to provide Auction Solution
Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu has been selected to provide an Auction Solution to support auctioning of carbon units in accordance with the Clean Energy Act 2011. Deloitte’s solution will incorporate software from Victorian technology developer Tradeslot.
On 1 July 2015, the carbon pricing mechanism will move to a flexible, market-driven approach. As part of this approach, the government will issue a fixed number of carbon units each year. Some of these carbon units will be sold at auction. The first auction of carbon units will take place in the first half of 2014 and will be conducted by the Clean Energy Regulator.
Deloitte will provide an Auction Solution to support this component of the flexible price period.
Deloitte was selected following an open Request for Tender (RFT) process in 2012. Their response indicated a high level of compliance with the RFT Statement of Requirements and presented the greatest value for money. The RFT process was undertaken in accordance with the Commonwealth Procurement Rules.
Further information regarding the auctioning of carbon units is available on the Clean Energy Regulator website.
