The Russian gas company Gazprom has questioned the continued operation of the Nord Stream 1 pipeline against the background of the repair of a turbine in Canada required for this.
Gazprom has not yet received written confirmation that the repaired turbine from Canada will actually be delivered to Siemens , the company responsible for the installation, the Russian group said in a statement on Wednesday. "Under these circumstances" Gazprom cannot guarantee the future operation of the line.
Referring to the defective turbine, Russia had already severely curtailed gas supplies through the Baltic Sea pipeline in mid-June. The turbine was then taken to a Siemens plant in Canada for repairs. Due to Canadian sanctions against Russia, it was initially not clear whether the device, which has since been repaired, can be returned.
