The EU has achieved its goal of 8 billion euros in energy transition financing, reducing the scale of carbon emission quota auctions.

``` The European Union has concluded the sale of a batch of carbon emission allowances allocated in advance. This move is part of the plan to use the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS) to provide financial support for breaking dependence on Russian natural gas. According to a statement released on its official website, the European Commission achieved the target of raising 8 billion euros on Monday. The funds came from the auction of carbon emission allowances, which were originally scheduled to be sold by the governments of member states between 2027 and 2030. After reaching the financing target, the EU has adjusted the timetable for routine carbon allowance auctions by member states under the ETS framework. From June 23 to the end of August, the volume of allowances auctioned on the EU’s Common Auction Platform will be reduced from the original 3,198,500 allowances to 2,817,500 allowances. The European Commission stated that, in the second stage of the plan, allowances reallocated from the ETS’s Innovation Fund are being auctioned, with an expected financing target of 12 billion euros to be reached by mid-July. Once this goal is achieved, the auction schedule will be adjusted again. From mid-July to the end of August, 571,000 allowances per auction will be suspended from sales on the EU’s Common Auction Platform. The EU launched the so-called RePowerEU plan in July 2023, aiming to raise a total of 20 billion euros for energy transition through the sale of emission allowances.
