The Russian energy giant Gazprom scrapped its Saturday deadline and indefinitely extended its gas cuts to Europe.
The state-owned energy company cited urgent maintenance was behind its reasoning Friday and did not provide a date when it intends to reopen the Nord Stream 1 Pipeline, which distributes natural gas to Europe through Germany.
In a social media post Gazprom claimed it had identified “malfunctions” in a turbine and claimed the pipeline would not work unless these issues were corrected. Europe has accused Russia of using its gas supplies as a political tool as nations across the continent look to beef up their gas stockpiles and energy supplies ahead of the winter months.Russia has blamed sweeping international sanctions imposed over its war in Ukraine as a leading factor in its inability to effectively maintain the Nord Stream 1 pipeline.
But the German company, which manufactures the turbines, suggested the move was politically motivated and said, “Such leaks do not normally affect the operation of a turbine and can be sealed on site. It is a routine procedure within the scope of maintenance work.”
