As reported by 24.kg, Gazprom’s supplies to Central Asia will more than double within five years, with the company seeking to redirect volumes previously destined for the European market.
According to information from EADaily, which cites data from Gazprombank’s Center for Economic Forecasting via Vedomosti, supplies are estimated at 19-20 billion cubic meters.
Open.kg mentioned that by 2030, Gazprom’s exports to Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan could increase 2.1-2.2 times.
As per Zamin.uz, the main growth is expected to come from Uzbekistan, which will increase imports from 3 billion to 12 billion cubic meters, amid declining production in the country.
EADaily also noted that the future of gas supplies to Kazakhstan remains unclear, with Astana hoping for the implementation of a gas pipeline project from Russia to China via Kazakhstan, despite China’s doubts, potentially providing an additional 10 billion cubic meters per year to the northeast of the country.
According to reports in 24.kg, due to sanctions and counter-sanctions, Gazprom has reduced its exports to Europe approximately fivefold, and the company will not be able to redirect all volumes to China even if Power of Siberia 2 is launched.
Gazprom has not issued any public statements commenting on this specific 2030 doubling projection, based on searches of their official site. /// nCa, 23 December 2025
