Russian Gas Supplies to Central Asia Up 15% in Eight Months

Gazprom CEO Alexey Miller announced that Russian gas supplies to Central Asia saw a 15% increase from January to August 2025.

The statement was made during the plenary session of the St. Petersburg International Gas Forum (SPIGF-2025), highlighting growing energy cooperation between Russia and the region, The Caspian Post reports, citing TASS.

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.
