BarcelonaRussia has today resumed gas supplies to Europe via the Nord Stream 1 gas pipeline that connects it to Germany, after a ten-day shutdown for annual maintenance work.
This has been confirmed on its website by the infrastructure operator, Nord Stream AG, which has said that the flow of fuel has begun to happen at 7am Moscow time (6am Catalan time).
Gas supply to Germany was shut down on July 11 for ten days, and Germany suffered in case Gazprom turned off the tap altogether.
More than a third of Russian natural gas exports to the European Union come through this pipeline. Gazprom, the Russian monopoly on gas exports, has significantly reduced gas supplies through this pipeline in recent weeks, arguing problems arising from Western sanctions, although the German government considers it a Kremlin strategy. to drive up gas prices.
