Russian Electricity Exports To Asia Growing — Minister

Russia’s electricity supplies to China and Mongolia will see an overall 20% jump by the end of this year, Energy Minister Nikolay Shulginov has said.

Estimates by the Russian energy giant Inter RAO suggest that the country has supplied a record 4.4-4.5 billion kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electrical power to China in 2022. Data shows that China’s electricity consumption had risen in December due to colder weather. This has also pushed demand for coal and gas for heating higher.

“This year [2022] we can talk about the growth of eastbound [electricity] exports, that is, total exports to China and Mongolia have increased by 20%, and there will be an uptick of about 16% to China by the end of the year,” Shulginov revealed last week in an interview with the TV channel Rossiya-24.
