In addition because the big players have less need to buy 'credits' the price for them is depressed. This makes green energy in particular still economically uncompetative.

Hmm, can you explain this in more detail?
As I understand it, the big players have a permit to produce a certain level of emissions. They can exceed that level if they buy more permits. If they use less, they can sell permits to others. In any event, there is a financial reward to a company for lowering emissions, and additional costs if they want to increase emissions.
