According to the operating company’s preliminary figures, the gas deliveries via the Nord Stream 1 pipeline are about the same as for their maintenance. Just under 30 million kilowatt hours per hour has been announced, which equates to about 700 gigawatt hours per day. This is apparent from preliminary information published on the Nord Stream AG website on Thursday evening (from 3.15 pm).
The amount announced is about the same as before routine maintenance began, which was scheduled to end Thursday, when the pipeline was running at about 40 percent capacity. The information is subject to change.
Last minute changes for delivery
The data available so far are preliminary announcements, so-called nominations. Although these are important for network operators to guarantee gas transport, they can still be changed, or renamed, until shortly before the actual deliveries. According to the head of the German federal network agency, Klaus Müller, this was already the case on Wednesday when other network operators published figures.
Müller wrote on Twitter in the evening that the Russian state-owned company Gazprom had renamed the previously registered amount on the first day and reduced it to 530 gigawatt hours, which corresponds to about 30 percent occupancy. Earlier, according to him, 800 gigawatt hours had been promised.
