Siemens Energy is not involved in technical work at Nord Stream

Energy company Siemens Energy said it was not taking part in the repair work on the Nord Stream gas pipeline, reports Reuters with reference to the company’s statement. From August 31 to September 3, the work of Nord Stream suspended due to turbine repair.

“Siemens Energy is not involved in the technical work currently being carried out by Gazprom on the Nord Stream gas pipeline. However, our experts are ready to advise the company if necessary,” the statement said.

Formerly Canada stated on plans to return to Gazprom the five turbines for Nord Stream, which are still under maintenance in Montreal. Russian energy company deniedthat they were taken to Canada. Another Siemens turbine is located in Germany. Gazprom reported that it could not take the turbine due to sanctions. On July 25, Canada sent a document explaining the issue of transporting the turbine, but Gazprom replied that this did not remove possible risks.

According to Gazprom, today, August 31, “scheduled preventive work on the gas compressor unit” will be carried out. Pumping, which is 20% of the gas pipeline’s capacity, will be resumed on September 3. In Germany, the decision to suspend called political.

Last week, against the background of reports about the shutdown of the gas pipeline, gas prices in Europe rose to $3,500 per 1,000 cubic meters. m. Today this price is $2847.
