The turbines of the mystery: 5 Siemens turbines repaired in Canada, but Gazprom denies they are his
Gazprom said Thursday that no Nord Stream 1 pipeline turbines are under maintenance in Canada, the day after a Canadian minister claimed that five turbines for that facility had been repaired and were on Canadian territory.
Canadian Foreign Minister Melanie Joly, in a report cited by CBC News, said Canada intends to return five Nord Stream 1 turbines to Germany.
" None of the turbines at the Portovaya compressor station are under repair in Canada ," Gazprom said in a message posted on Telegram.
Gazprom is planning maintenance in Portovaya from August 31 to September 2, which will cut off flows along the Nord Stream 1 pipeline connecting Russia and Germany across the Baltic Sea.
The return of a turbine previously sent to Siemens Energy in Canada for maintenance has been delayed by sanctions, prompting Gazprom to cut flows through Nord Stream 1. Now if Canada really had five downs it would be a major shortcoming for the power plant. compression, but Gazprom denies. If the turbines were really his and he didn't require them, it would seem like self-sabotage.
The pipeline is currently operating with a capacity of just 20%, which has caused already high energy prices to soar and has prompted European countries to launch emergency energy saving plans.
Berlin said Moscow is using the turbine as a pretext to limit gas flows and is using energy as a political weapon in an attempt to undermine the European Union's resolve on sanctions.
