Gazprom plans to cut the flow of natural gas to Europe - reducing the Nord Stream 1 pipeline to just 20% of capacity from Wednesday
.
The Russian state-owned energy firm said"daily throughput" would be cut from 4am due to necessary equipment repairs.and took it offline for a 10 day maintenance break in July, blaming the delayed return of a Siemens turbine being serviced in Canada. But Germany said that turbine was not meant to be used until September and that it could not see any technical reason for a further supply cut this month.
Gazprom said that it had received papers from Siemens and Canada about the turbine but they"do not remove the previously identified risks and raise additional questions"."Additionally, there are still open questions from Gazprom regarding the EU and UK sanctions, the resolution of which is important for the delivery of the engine to Russia and the urgent overhaul of other gas turbine engines for the Portovaya compressor station.
Siemens Energy said the missing turbine was ready to be delivered but customs documents needed to get it into Russia were missing.
