through the Central Asia-Center gas pipeline at the maximum
technically possible level, the Chairman of the Board of Gazprom
Alexey Miller said, Trend reports.

organizations of Gazprom.
Alexey Miller noted that the gas supply to Uzbekistan has
reached the winter level. The level at which the Gazprom supplied
gas to Uzbekistan last winter, when there were abnormally severe
cold weather conditions.
“Gazprom is expanding its cooperation with Central Asian
countries, where energy consumption is also on the rise. The
Central Asian countries are developing very intensively in economic
and social terms. And this opens up new opportunities for us. We
doubled gas supplies to this region from January through August
2024,” he said.

to announce fan blackouts due to an abnormally cold winter and high
gas consumption for heating and power generation. The country
imported more gas than it exported in 2023.

President of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev, and President of
Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev gave a start to the transit of
Russian natural gas through the territory of Kazakhstan to

Asia-Center gas trunkline.
