Gazprom’s deputy CEO has said the company has still not received a Siemens turbine used at Nord Stream 1’s Portovaya compressor station that has been undergoing servicing in Canada.
Vitaly Markelov blamed Siemens, which is servicing the turbine, for the delay, saying that there were sanctions risks associated with the machinery.
Russian energy giant Gazprom is supplying as much gas to Europe as possible, the Kremlin has said.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters that sanctions-driven technical issues with equipment were preventing Gazprom from exporting more.
“Gazprom supplies as much as needed and possible. We know that technical possibilities for supplies have decreased now,” he said.
Russia delivered less gas to Europe on Wednesday in a further escalation of an energy standoff between Moscow and the European Union that will make it harder and costlier for the bloc to fill up storage before the winter heating season.
