Russia has increased its gas exports to Europe via the TurkStream pipeline to a record high since the pipeline began operating in 2020, reaching 1.56 billion cubic meters by January 2025.
This figure is the result of TASS calculations based on data from the European Network of Gas Transmission System Operators (ENTSOG).
In January, gas supplies via the TurkStream pipeline to European countries increased by 2% compared to December 2024 and jumped by 27% compared to January 2024 to 1.56 billion m3.
TASS notes that this is an absolute record for deliveries in a month since the TurkStream gas pipeline began operating in January 2020. The previous record for TurkStream deliveries was set in August 2023, when it was 1.53 billion cubic meters.
The TurkStream gas pipeline has a capacity of 31.5 billion cubic meters of gas, connecting Russia with Türkiye across the Black Sea. The pipeline is designed to supply gas to Turkey and countries in Southern and Southeastern Europe.
TurkStream is currently the last pipeline carrying Russian gas to Europe after the transit route through Ukraine was closed. The starting point of TurkStream is the Russkaya compressor station built near Anapa.
Russian gas supplies via pipelines to Türkiye have also increased by 2.6% to more than 21 billion cubic meters by the end of 2024. Russia supplies gas to Türkiye via two pipelines across the Black Sea - Blue Stream and TurkStream.
