Russia Slashes Gas Deliveries Via Nord Stream

Russia’s energy giant Gazprom has said it would be reducing the daily gas deliveries via the Nord Stream pipeline to Germany due to the “repair” of compressor units by German company Siemens.

“Gas supplies via the Nord Stream gas pipeline can currently be provided in the amount of up to 100 million cubic metres per day,” Gazprom said in a statement on Telegram, adding that the expected daily volume is 167 million cubic metres.

With the delayed return of components from Siemens, “only three gas-pumping units were currently operational at the Portovaya compression station” near the northwestern city of Vyborg, Gazprom added
