The Russian energy giant, Gazprom, announced today, Wednesday, again reducing the maximum quantities of gas supplied to Germany via the Nord Stream 1 pipeline.
The government company indicated that the maximum, which it will pump through the line to Germany, will reach 67 million cubic meters only, as of early Thursday.
The company justified this step again with the delay of the German company “Siemens” in maintenance work, and “Gazprom” said that for this reason it had to close another gas compressor station.
Yesterday, Tuesday, Gazprom announced the reduction of the maximum amount of gas supplied to Germany via the Nord Stream 1 line to 100 million cubic meters per day, which is equivalent to about 60% of the daily volume of gas that was planned to be supplied so far, which amounts to 167 million cubic meters per day. million cubic meters per day.
Shortly thereafter, Germany’s Federal Network Agency denied Gazprom’s claim that delays in maintenance work on a gas compressor had reduced the quantities supplied.
It should be noted that Nord Stream 1 is the main supply line for Russian gas to Germany. Pumping through the Yamal-Europe pipeline has already stopped. It also significantly reduced the supply of Russian gas passing through Ukraine.
Energy prices have risen due to previous restrictions that have already led to a decline in Russian gas supplies to Europe.
The Nord Stream 2 pipeline, despite its completion, was not operational due to the Russian military operation in Ukraine.
