Nord Stream turbine return impossible, Gazprom says

Gazprom, on the official Telegram channel, said that the sanctions of Canada, the European Union, and Great Britain make it impossible to supply a turbine for Nord Stream, which was repaired in Canada and is now in Germany.

⠀

In addition, the shipment of the unit to Russia cannot be carried out due to the inconsistency of the current situation with the obligations of Siemens.

⠀

“The German company Siemens does not repair turbine units for supplying gas to the pipeline,” said Vitaly Markelov, Deputy Chairman of the Board of Gazprom.

⠀ 

“Now the line is operated by only one Siemens engine with a capacity of 52 MW. In normal mode, there are five such units, and one is on standby in standby mode. In both cases, there is a hot reserve – two turbines with a capacity of 27 MW.
