China has completely stopped importing electricity from Russia starting from January 2026, APA-Economics reports, citing Kommersant.
The decision was made due to high export prices. Since the beginning of this year, export prices have for the first time exceeded domestic electricity prices in China.
It is reported that the electricity supply contract between Moscow and Beijing is valid until 2037. The Russian Ministry of Energy has stated that exports could be resumed if a new request is submitted.
According to information cited by Kommersant from sources, China has completely stopped electricity imports from Russia since January 1, even refusing supply at the minimal contract volume (approximately 12 MW). Sources do not expect exports to be resumed in 2026.
