Russian energy production and export strategies

Overview

Russia is pursuing long-term strategies to expand its energy production and strengthen international energy partnerships. Domestically, the government plans to increase the share of nuclear energy in its national mix from approximately 20% to 25% by 2045. This expansion involves adding roughly 30 GW of new capacity, including small nuclear power plants in the Ural Mountains, Siberia, and the Far East, to support heavy industry and digital infrastructure.

On the international front, Russia is deepening energy ties with China. Officials expect China to account for more than 60% of Russia’s total natural gas exports by 2030, driven by the Power of Siberia pipeline and new Far Eastern routes. Cooperation also extends to liquefied natural gas (LNG) and oil, with ongoing negotiations for projects like the Power of Baikal to transport gas via Mongolia. Discussions between Moscow and Beijing also encompass nuclear energy projects and advanced technology research.
