Since October 7, Uzbekistan has imported about 300 million cubic meters of gas from Russia under a contract with Gazprom, Energy Minister Jurabek Mirzamakhmudov said. He again refused to reveal the price of imported “blue fuel.”
The Energy Ministry of Uzbekistan announced details of a two-year gas agreement with Gazprom. It will supply 9 million cu.m. daily and an annual volume will reach almost 2.8 billion cu.m. This is in contrast to earlier reports by Kommersant, which stated that the volume would be twice as much.
An agreement on Russian gas supplies to Uzbekistan was signed between Gazprom and Energy Ministry of Uzbekistan, along with a road map for preparing the country’s gas transportation system. The supply of Russian gas to Uzbekistan via Kazakhstan will begin in the fourth quarter of 2023.
