Gazprom announced that it stopped an additional pneumatic turbine of the Nord Stream 1 pipe, causing the gas flow to Germany to fall half from July 27.

The Russian state -owned Gazprom Energy Group announced that it stopped operating an additional turbine at the Portovaya air compressor station of the Nord Stream 1 system according to the guidance of the supervisory agencies, after evaluating the technical status of the device.

This move causes the gas flow on the Nord Stream 1 pipe will be reduced to 33 million cubic meters of gas/day from July 27, equivalent to half of the current 40% of the pipe capacity.

A basis on the Nord Stream 1 pipeline system in Germany on July 20.

Gazprom previously said that it had received documents from Canada and Siemens Energy for being maintained.

The document has not yet eliminated the risks that have been determined in advance, and raised many new questions.

Gazprom Group restores the gas stream through Nord Stream 1 last week after 10 days of operation to maintain, but cut 60% of the gas flow to Germany with the reason that the missing compressive turbine is being repaired in Canada.

Many European countries are concerned that Russia can extend the time to stop supplying gas to respond to Western sanctions, disturb the storage plan for winter and push the gas crisis in the climbing area.

Russian gas transferred pipes for Europe.

European people are on the maximum air conditioner when the hot weather is recorded, leading to the amount of gas needed to produce electricity.

European countries race to find solutions to ensure the supply of energy, when faced with the risk of lack of gas in the cold winter.
