Export price of Russian gas for countries of the EU in 2017 can be 180 – $ 190 per thousand cubic meters. This was stated by Deputy Chairman of Russian Gazprom Alexander Medvedev.
“The range of prices in 2017 will be 180 – $ 190 per thousand cubic meters”, − said Medvedev.
He recalled that in 2016 the average price of gas exports of Gazprom in the EU amounted to $ 167 per thousand cubic meters.
In 2016, “Gazprom” has increased gas supplies to far abroad by 12.5% − more than 179,3 billion cubic meters, which was a historical high.
Medvedev also said that Gazprom sees no reasons for potential refusal by EU authorities from issuing the necessary permits for the construction of the pipeline “Nord stream – 2”, but political. He stressed that the project is economic in nature and implemented in the interests of European gas consumers.
Ukraine in January-2017 average price of imported gas amounted to 6 thousand UAH 32 per thousand cubic meters – about 233 dollars.
