Belarus and Russia plan to determine the parameters of a new gas supply contract, including prices, in 2025, Belarusian Energy Minister Alexey Kushnarenko told reporters on the sidelines of the TNF energy and industry forum.
According to TASS, when asked when a gas supply contract with Russia after 2025 could be signed, Alexey Kushnarenko said: "We have time for consultations on this issue. We have consulted and our task is to determine the price policy for the next period in 2025. We can decide in 2025."
In February 2023, Gazprom and Gazpromtransgaz Belarus extended the contracts for gas supplies to Belarus for 2023-2025 and gas transit through Belarus in 2023. The estimated cost of gas supplies for 2023-2025 is 200 billion rubles ($2.1 billion) per year.
In early February this year, Belarusian Ambassador to Russia Dmitry Krutoy announced that Minsk and Moscow plan to reduce the price of Russian gas for the Belarusian market after 2026. In April, Gazprom head Alexei Miller and Krutoy discussed Russian gas supplies to Belarus.
