Gas storage facilities in Germany, according to the regulator, are 60.9% full.

At the same time, gas inflow through Nord Stream remained at the level of 40% of the pipeline capacity. 

“The situation is tense, it is impossible to exclude the worsening of the situation.

However, gas supplies to Germany are currently stable.

Energy security is currently ensured,” the message says.

The regulator suggested that companies affected by the reduction in supplies buy the necessary volumes in other places, but at much higher prices.

German Economy Minister Robert Habek said earlier that Nord Stream could be used at full capacity.

On June 9, Russian gas supplies via Nord Stream were reduced due to planned technical work.

According to Gazprom, the supply volumes were limited due to the untimely return of equipment from repair by Siemens.

After that, Gazprom announced that it was stopping the operation of another gas turbine engine of the German concern Siemens at the Portovaya CS.

Russian Ambassador to Ottawa Oleg Stepanov said that Russia is not involved in contacts between Germany and Canada regarding the supply of equipment for the Nord Stream gas pipeline, which were complicated by the imposed sanctions.
