Russia has increased pipeline gas supplies to Turkey by 16% in the period January-September 2025 compared to the same period last year, reaching 16 billion cubic meters. This is evidenced by calculations based on data from the Turkish Energy Market Regulatory Authority (EPDK).
Turkey imported a total of 1.45 billion cubic meters from Russia through the “Turkish Stream“ and “Blue Stream“ pipelines in September.
By the end of 2024, Russia increased pipeline gas supplies to Turkey by 2.6%, to just over 21 billion cubic meters. Total gas supplies from Russia to Turkey, including LNG, exceeded 21.5 billion cubic meters.
Russia supplies gas to Turkey via two pipelines across the Black Sea. “Blue Stream“ was put into operation in early 2003; its design capacity is 16 billion cubic meters per year, with a total length of 1,213 km. The “Turkish Stream“ export gas pipeline consists of two lines, one of which is intended for gas supply to Turkish consumers, and the other to countries in Southern and Southeastern Europe. The total capacity of “Turkish Stream“ is 31.5 billion cubic meters and it began operation in January 2020.
Gas consumption in Turkey in September this year amounted to 3.7 billion cubic meters, according to calculations based on data from the Turkish exchange EPIAS. Overall, gas demand in Turkey increased by 20% in the first nine months of 2025.
