Deputy Prime Minister of Russia Alexander Novak held a working meeting with Minister of Energy of the Republic of Uzbekistan Jurabek Mirzamakhmudov on the sidelines of Russian Energy Week.

The parties discussed issues of developing cooperation in the gas, oil, and nuclear industries.

It was noted that Gazprom continues to implement its contract for natural gas supplies to Uzbekistan in the amount of 7.7 billion cubic meters per year. There are also significant prospects for increasing gas supplies, including LNG.

In 2024, 233,500 tons of Russian oil were delivered to Uzbekistan. Oil and gas companies from both countries are exploring opportunities for cooperation in developing hard-to-recover reserves in Uzbekistan.

An important aspect of cooperation between the countries is the construction of a nuclear power plant in Uzbekistan. In accordance with the agreements reached, this project will involve the construction of two power units with a capacity of 1,000 MW each and two additional power units with a capacity of 55 MW each. Construction of the first power unit of the small nuclear power plant began in October of this year.
