France stopped receiving gas from Germany amid a decline in supplies from Russia

France has stopped receiving gas from Germany since June 15. Earlier, Gazprom announced that it was forced to reduce supplies via Nord Stream,

Gas deliveries to France from Germany stopped amid a decline in Russian gas exports to the European Union, REUTERS reports citing the French pipeline operator GRTgaz.

Meanwhile, the operator noted that he sees no problems with gas supplies to France this summer, since the decrease in their volumes from Germany is compensated, among other things, by an increase in imports from Spain. Gas storage facilities in France are 56% full, 6% higher than usual at this time of year, according to GRTgaz.

European companies this week faced a reduction in Russian gas supplies. This was announced by the French Engie, the Austrian OMV, the Italian Eni and the German Uniper. In particular, the latter reported that she received a quarter less fuel from RUSSIA than provided for in the contract.

The reason was the reduction by Gazprom of gas supplies via Nord Stream. On June 14, they decreased by 40%. The company cited the situation at the Portovaya compressor station in Vyborg as the reason. According to the operator, the German company Siemens did not return the gas pumping units from repair in time. In addition, technical malfunctions of the engines were identified, Gazprom reported.

The next day, the operator suspended the operation of another turbine, due to which the pumping was reduced by another third. The turbine was stopped before overhaul due to the end of the overhaul period.

Siemens, in turn, explained that they could not return turbines for Nord Stream from repair due to Canadian sanctions (turbines are produced in this country).
