就在1月1日，中国突然宣布全面暂停从俄罗斯进口电力。这一决定不仅令俄罗斯方面感到措手不及，更给普京政府敲响了警钟。这场看似简单的商业决策， 实际上折射出的是中国电力产业发生的巨大变革，也揭示了俄罗斯不得不正视的严峻现实。就好比曾经是邻里互助的老友，其中一方突然说：不好意思，你 家的电太贵了，我自己发的电用不完，还比你的便宜。 要真正理解中国停止进口俄罗斯电力的背后逻辑，我们得从时间的角度去剖析这段故事。十多年前，中国东北的电力短缺是常态，冬季经常出现拉闸限电的 情况，甚至停工限产，企业主焦急万分。那个时候，从俄罗斯远东进口电力，成了中国东北的救命稻草。双方签署了长达十几年的合同，约定电力输送总量 达到1000亿千瓦时，修建了阿穆尔—黑河跨境电力传输线，每年稳定进口35到45亿千瓦时。对于俄罗斯而言，这是一个稳定的外汇来源，而中国东北则通过 这一条线解决了高峰期的用电紧张，算得上是互惠互利的典范。然而，短短十年过去，电力合作的形势发生了翻天覆地的变化。 2026年1月1日，中国终于宣布停用与俄罗斯的电力专线，连合同中规定的最低保底输电额12兆瓦也被清零。俄罗斯电力公司InterRAO起初一时愣住，但很快 就意识 ...
