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

Trent 60, the only air compressor station operating, will stop for three days for maintenance and maintenance, Russian gas group Gazprom announced on August 19, and said that maintenance will be realized.

The maintenance is expected to take place from August 31 to September 2.

After completing the work and without technical problems for the machine, the air stream 1 will be restored at 33 million m3 per day, Gazprom Group announced.

After Gazprom's announcement, the gas price in Europe increased to a record at the end of the trading session on August 19.

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.

Gazprom representative in late July explained that it was forced to reduce the gas flow through Nord Stream 1 due to turbines having technical problems and warnings with many turbines that need to be maintained.

Gazprom also said that Western partners slowly handed over the compressed turbine of the Portovaya station, causing the gas flow through Nord Stream 1 to decline.

The risk of gas deficiency in the winter forced the European Union (EU) in July through the proposal of member countries to voluntarily cut 15% of the demand for gas gas from August to March 2023.

German Economic Minister Robert Habeck said on August 12 that it would limit the heating temperature in public buildings in the winter to save gas when Russia fell supply.

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