Germany eliminates the ability to start Nord Stream 2, the gas pipeline is suspended in February, although the country is inhalation of the supply of gas.

Speaking at an event in Berlin on August 21, German Economic Minister Robert Habeck rejected the call for Nord Stream 2 to operate the Nord Stream 2 to help cool down the current energy crisis.

Operating Nord Stream 2 means submitting to Russian President Vladimir Putin, admitting that he did the right thing.

Nord Stream 2 was completed at the end of 2021, designed to transport gas from Russia to Germany through the Baltic Sea without going to Ukraine or Poland, double the supply of gas from Russia to Germany to 110 billion m3 per year.

Mr. Habeck accused Russia of deliberately reducing the supply of gas through Nord Stream 1, although the pipeline system was still operating normally.

Nord Stream 1 is the largest gas pipeline from Russia to Germany through the Baltic Sea, transporting about 55 billion cubic meters of gas per year.

Minister Habeck eliminates the possibility of extending the life of three operating nuclear power plants of Germany to save gas because the amount of savings is expected to be only 2%.

After the Fukushima nuclear disaster event in Japan in 2011, former Prime Minister Angela Merkel decided that Germany would stop using nuclear power at the end of 2022, with most voters supporting.

Nuclear electricity accounted for 13.3% of the total palace in Germany in 2021, produced by 6 nuclear power plants.

Meanwhile, German Finance Minister Christian Lindner of FDP reaffirms the situation that will improve if the extension of the life of nuclear power plants is limited to the limited period of time instead of restarting coal thermal power plants.

We should not be too picky, leave all the possibilities, Mr. Lindner said, ready to agree to extend a few years in the current context.

Mr. Habeck accepted to extend the life of a nuclear power plant in Bavaria if the grid test results show that this facility is needed for stability and power supply in the winter.

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said the test results would be at the end of August or early September and only issued a decision at that time.

The location of Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines from Russia to Germany.

Russian gas firm Gazprom announced the stops of Nord Stream 1 to Germany for three days from the end of this month for maintenance.

The German energy management agency warned that the country was almost certainly not reaching the target of gas reserves with supply from Russia.
