Russia’s Gazprom once again to shut gas pipeline to Europe for three days

The Hindu  

A key Russian natural gas pipeline will shut down for three days of maintenance at the end of this month, the state-owned energy company Gazprom announced on August 19, raising economic pressure on Germany and other European countries that depend on the fuel to power industry, generate electricity and heat homes. In a statement posted online, Gazprom said the planned shutdown from August 31 to September 2 is for “routine maintenance” at a key compressor station along the Nord Stream 1 pipeline, which links western Russia and Germany. “Gas flows through Nord Stream 1 are currently unchanged at 20%.” The newly announced maintenance shutoff raises additional fears that Russia could completely cut off the gas to try to gain political leverage over Europe as it tries to boost its storage levels for winter. Gazprom said once the work is completed, the flow of gas through Nord Stream 1 will resume at its prior level of 33 million cubic meters, or just 20% of the pipeline’s capacity.
