MOSCOW: Gazprom has for the sixth time in two months set a new record for daily gas supplies to China via the Power of Siberia pipeline, the Russian holding said in a statement.
"On November 5, Gazprom recorded a new all-time high in daily gas deliveries to China via Power of Siberia. The delivered volume exceeded Gazprom's contractual obligations," the statement reads.
This is the ninth record since supplies via the gas pipeline reached the maximum contracted level on December 1, 2024, the company added.
On December 1, 2024, Gazprom brought the Power of Siberia gas pipeline to China to its maximum design capacity of 38 bln cubic meters (bcm) of gas per year. Supplies via Power of Siberia amounted to 4.1 bcm in 2020, 10.39 bcm in 2021, 15.4 bcm in 2022, 22.73 bcm in 2023, and 31.12 bcm in 2024. In the first nine months of 2025, the company increased supplies via the Power of Siberia pipeline by more than 27%. Gazprom will supply more than 38 bln cubic meters of gas to China via the pipeline by the end of this year, company CEO Alexey Miller has said.
The Power of Siberia is the largest gas transportation system in eastern Russia, with an export capacity of 38 bln cubic meters of gas per year. The first pipeline deliveries of Russian gas to China via the eastern route began in December 2019 under a 30-year contract signed in 2014 between Gazprom and China's CNPC. Total deliveries over the entire period will exceed 1 trillion cubic meters of gas, with the contract value amounting to $400 bln.
Moreover, following Russian President Vladimir Putin's visit to China, Moscow and Beijing signed documents on the supply of a total of 106 bcm of gas per year. During the visit, a memorandum was signed on the construction of the Power of Siberia-2 gas pipeline with a capacity of 50 bcm. Power of Siberia was also authorized to increase deliveries to 44 bln cubic meters of gas per year from the planned 38 bln cubic meters, and a decision was also made regarding the Far Eastern corridor under construction to increase supplies by 2 bln cubic meters, from 10 to 12 bln cubic meters per year.
