Russia to cut Nord Stream 1 gas supplies to 20% of capacity from July 27

Russian state-owned energy company Gazprom said it will further cut gas flows through Nord Stream 1, Russia's biggest gas pipeline to Europe, as it waits for the delivery of a vital turbine after repairs.

The company said it needs to halt the operation of a Siemens gas turbine at a compressor station, which is expected to reduce the gas flows through Nord Stream 1 pipeline to 33 million cubic metres from July 27.

"Due to expiration of time before prescribed time for overhaul, Gazprom is shutting down one more gas turbine produced by Siemens at the Portovaya CS," it said in a tweet.

Gazprom said it was concerned about the delivery of the turbine from Canada due to the potential impact of western sanctions imposed on Russia following its conflict with Ukraine.
