NATURAL GAS

The turbine that Russia has claimed is the reason Nord Stream 1 is running at reduced capacity is stuck in Germany according to Reuters sources because Russia has so far not given the go-ahead to transport it back.

  • Nord Stream 1 is currently operating at 40% capacity after Russia resumed flows yesterday following planned maintenance.
  • It is unclear when the turbine will begin its transit to Russia. Russia have also claimed documentation from Siemens Energy needed to reinstall it was still missing.
