原文地址：Russia’s Gas Flows to China Will Reach Capacity Ahead of Plan
新闻日期：2024-09-20
俄罗斯天然气巨头 Gazprom 宣布，将于年底前通过“西伯利亚电力管道”向中国供气至设计能力上限，比原计划提前完成。
自俄乌战争以来，俄罗斯越来越依赖中国作为能源买家，取代了西方伙伴的角色。今年1-8月，Gazprom 通过“西伯利亚电力管道”向中国输送了约208亿立方米天然气，这一数量低于2023年全年共计227.7亿立方米的总量。
除了现有的“西伯利亚电力管道”，Gazprom 还在建设另一条连接俄罗斯远东地区与中国的输气管道，设计能力为每年100亿立方米。据俄方表示，该项目进展顺利，预计于2027年投入运营。
需要注意的是，另一条拟建的“西伯利亚电力2号”管道仍在谈判中，该线路可能使俄罗斯每年向中国供应近1000亿立方米天然气。但双方尚未就天然气价格达成一致。
原文摘要：
Russia’s agreed with to ramp up gas flows on the Power of Siberia pipeline to maximum capacity by year’s end, ahead of schedule.“In line with a request from Chinese partners, the parties agreed on additional supplies for December,” Gazprom said in a on Telegram. That “will ensure an early increase in daily gas supplies to China via the Power of Siberia pipeline to the maximum contract level,” previously targeted for early 2025.Gazprom has been gradually raising exports on the link, which has a design capacity of 38 billion cubic meters a year. Russia has become increasingly reliant on China as a buyer of its energy since Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine opened up a rift with Western partners.In the first eight months of this year, Gazprom increased supplies via Power of Siberia to about 20.8 billion cubic meters, Bloomberg calculations based on Chinese customs data and price estimates from Russia’s Economy Ministry. That compares with 22.7 billion cubic meters for the whole of 2023.The company is also developing another conduit to take gas from Russia’s Far East to China. Construction of that link, with a design capacity of 10 billion cubic meters a year, is on schedule, the Russian producer said. It has previously given a start date of 2027.A third route — the proposed Power of Siberia 2 — remains under discussion. That line could bring Russia’s annual gas flows to China to almost 100 billion cubic meters. Yet negotiations have stalled as the two sides are still to agree on a price for the gas.
