Direct War Ukraine - Russia, last minute live
The Russian gas giant Gazprom today announced a further reduction in gas supplies through the Nord Stream pipeline,
to 33 million cubic meters per day, starting on July 27
, due to the need to stop another turbine due to its technical condition. .
"As of 7:00 Moscow time (4:00 GMT), the daily productivity of the Portóvaya pumping station will be 33 million cubic meters per day," the company reported on its Telegram channel.
Gazprom linked this new reduction to the technical condition of a turbine after the deadline for a new capital repair, as stipulated by technical standards.
Russia currently supplies only 40% of usual gas standards as it
awaits the return of one of its Siemens turbines
, which was blocked in Canada due to sanctions over the Russian military campaign in Ukraine and is currently on its way to lap.
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 the 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 as of this Wednesday
