“As a manufacturer of turbines, we can only state that such a withdrawal is not a technical reason for stopping operation.
Such leaks usually do not affect the operation of the turbine and can be fixed on site, ”TASS quoted him as saying.
According to a Siemens Energy spokesman, in the past, such problems did not lead to a stop in the operation of the gas pipeline.
As Gazprom's press service reported on September 2, an oil leak was discovered during maintenance work on the Trent 60 unit at the Portovaya CS.
Subsequently, Gazprom completely stopped deliveries via Nord Stream until the problems were fixed.
Moscow emphasized that EU sanctions brought the situation with the suspension of the gas pipeline.
