The flow of Russian gas through Nord Stream 1 has been suspended due to planned maintenance work
The flow of Russian gas to Germany through the Nord Stream Baltic Sea pipeline has been suspended.
Operator Nord Stream AG said that routine maintenance work would shut down the pipeline for 10 days, starting Monday. During that time, all gas flows via the pipeline will stop.
The operator highlighted that the stoppage had previously been agreed with all partners.
Last month, the Russian energy giant slashed the volumes of gas delivered to Germany via the pipe by 60% due to operational challenges, caused by the failure to return a serviced turbine on time from Canada. However, German Economy Minister Robert Habeck argued that it was “a political decision.”
