Russian gas flows to Europe via the Nord Stream 1 pipeline remained stable on Tuesday and deliveries via Ukraine remained stable on Tuesday, according to data from the managing company.
As reported by Reuters, natural flows to Germany via the Nord Stream 1 pipeline through the Baltic Sea amounted to 29,451,913 kilowatt-hours per hour (kWh/h) on Tuesday morning, an amount that is in line with levels above 29.000,000 kWh/h seen for most of the previous day, according to information from the managing company.
Russian gas producer Gazprom announced last week that it would reduce supply through the Nord Stream 1 pipeline to just 40% due to a delay in the return of technical equipment being repaired by Germany's Siemens Energy in Canada.
European leaders such as German Chancellor Olaf Scholz questioned whether the flow reduction was due to political motivations rather than technical issues.
Italian ENI's request on Tuesday to Gazprom for gas supplies was only partially met.
The Nord Stream 1 pipeline undergoes regular annual maintenance, usually from July 11 to July 21, when there are no large gas flows through the pipeline.
Gazprom said gas supply to Europe via Ukraine, particularly through the Sudzha entry point, was 41.2 million cubic meters (mcm) on Tuesday, down slightly from 41.7 mcm on Monday.
In addition, gas flows to Slovakia from Ukraine via the Velke Kapusany border point were 36.8 mcm per day on Tuesday, unchanged from Monday, according to data from the Ukrainian transmission system operator.
Eastward gas flows through the Yamal-Europe pipeline to Poland from Germany also increased slightly, according to data from pipeline operator Gascade.
Finally, exit flows from the Mallnow point on the German border with Poland were 1,884,534 kWh/h on Tuesday morning, an increase on the previous day's levels of around 1,600,000 kWh/h, according to data.
