The Russian consortium is sounding alarm in Europe by pointing out that it does not know when it can keep the turbine in Canada
An alarm has been raised in the European Union after Russia’s gas consortium Gazprom warned on Wednesday that it cannot guarantee a “secure operation” to resume supplies from the following day 21, the date when the technical shutdown theoretically ends. The reason the company gives is that it doesn’t know when it can keep the turbine in Canada, which is needed at the Portovaya compressor station to maintain the safety of the entire Nord Stream gas pipeline.
The turbine has been sent to the Siemens company for repair, but international sanctions against Russia appear to make its return more difficult. In addition, Ukraine has filed a complaint with the courts to try to withhold the piece, despite the Canadian government’s announcement on Saturday that it intends to return the piece to Germany.
“Gazprom does not have any document that would allow Siemens to get the gas turbine engine from Canada. Under these circumstances, it is not possible to draw an objective conclusion about the future development of the situation to ensure the safe operation of the Portovaya compressor station, which is a critical facility for the Nord Stream gas pipeline,” it said. consortium Wednesday, the message has fueled uncertainty in the EU, which partners fear that, following a change in dates, it hides Moscow’s alleged intention to cut supplies to Europe in order to create uncertainty and raise prices.
