Since January 1, China has completely stopped the purchase of electricity from Russia. Refusal to supply was the result of high export prices, which exceeded domestic Chinese prices for the first time in 2026. Inter RAO exported surplus electricity from the Far East to China. Contract until 2037 provides for the supply of about 4 billion kWh per year. Actual volume of electricity exports by the end of 2024 decreased to 0.9 billion kWh due to a shortage of capacity in the energy system of the Far East.
