ST. PETERSBURG, October 9. /TASS/. Russian gas supplies to Central Asia increased by 15% in January-August 2025, Gazprom CEO Alexey Miller said at the plenary session of the St. Petersburg International Gas Forum (SPIGF-2025).
According to him, the economies of Central Asian countries are expanding rapidly, and forecasts for the next five to six years suggest growth of up to 60%, which will require additional energy resources – particularly gas.
"When we compare the first eight months of 2025 with the same period in 2024, gas supplies from Russia to Central Asia, and I mean specifically Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Kazakhstan, rose by 15%. These are significant volumes," Miller noted.
He emphasized that projects within the framework of the large-scale Power of Siberia-2 initiative will serve as catalysts for further growth in gas deliveries to the region.
