The Russian energy company has announced that it will reduce the current supply of gas to Germany by 20% due to the stoppage of a turbine.
Russian gas giant Gazprom has announced a new reduction from 40% to 20% of gas supplies from the Nord Stream 1 pipeline starting Wednesday, July 27.
The energy company has announced that will be reduced to 33 million cubic meters per day the current supply of gas to Germany due to the stoppage of a turbine due to its technical condition.
Russia currently supplies only 40% of usual gas as it awaits the return of one of its Siemens turbines, which was blocked in Canada by sanctions from the Russian military campaign in Ukraine and is currently on its way back.
The process has been hampered by demands from Gazprom, which claims that the documentation provided by Canada and Germany does not eliminate the risks linked to sanctions and “generates additional questions”, in particular, those related to the future repair of other turbines. .
In mid-June, Gazprom reduced its gas supply capacity by 33%, to 67 million cubic meters per day, also due to the need to stop a turbine for repairs, and in July it stopped pumping for “planned maintenance work” .
After a ten-day break that ended on July 21, Nord Stream started with a capacity of 40%, which will be reduced by half from this Wednesday.
