LONDON, June 27 (Reuters) - Flows of Russian gas to Europe
via the Nord Stream 1 pipeline and deliveries through Ukraine
remained steady on Monday morning, operator data showed.
Physical flows to Germany through the Nord Stream 1 pipeline
across the Baltic Sea stood at 29,289,697 kilowatt hours per
hour (kWh/h) on Monday morning, in line with levels above
29,000,000 kWh/h seen over the weekend, operator company
information showed.
Russian gas producer Gazprom said earlier in June
capacity through the pipeline would be cut to just 40% due to
the delayed return of equipment being serviced by Germany's
Siemens Energy in Canada.
European leaders such as German Chancellor Olaf Scholz have
questioned whether the cut in supply is politically motivated
rather than a technical issue.
Nord Stream will also undergo regular annual maintenance
from July 11 to July 21, sparking concerns about whether flows
will restart when maintenance ends.
Gazprom said its supply of gas to Europe through Ukraine via
the Sudzha entry point was unchanged for the fourth day running
on Monday at 42.1 million cubic metres (mcm).
Nominations for gas flows into Slovakia from Ukraine via the
Velke Kapusany border point stood at 36.9 mcm per day, little
changed from the previous day, data from the Ukrainian
transmission system operator showed.
Eastbound gas flows resumed via the Yamal-Europe pipeline to
Poland from Germany over the weekend, data from the Gascade
pipeline operator showed.
Exit flows at the Mallnow metering point on the German
border restarted on the morning of June 25 after halting on
Friday. Eastward flows were at 1,863,429 kWh/h on Monday morning
the data showed.
