TNK-BP agreed Thursday to deliver gas to the Nizhnevartovsk power plant, controlled by electricity generator Inter RAO, which seeks to diversify suppliers, the companies said.
The companies did not disclose financial terms, though Mikhail Slobodin, who oversees gas business at TNK-BP, said the company will supply the plant with up to 3.5 billion cubic meters of gas a year for the next 18 years.
TNK-BP owns 25 percent plus one share in the Nizhnevartovsk plant, which has a capacity of 1.6 gigawatts.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
