Scholz visit announced: Dispute over gas delivery: Turbine still in Germany

For some time now, Russia has been supplying less gas through the Baltic Sea pipeline than is technically possible. As justification, Moscow refers to a turbine repaired abroad. Now it is known that the aggregate is still in Germany.

The turbine for the Nord Stream 1 gas pipeline is still in Germany. Chancellor Olaf Scholz will visit them tomorrow morning at Siemens Energy in Mülheim an der Ruhr, the energy technology group announced. There the turbine, which has been serviced in Canada, is ready for onward transport to Russia. Scholz will make a short press statement together with Siemens Energy boss Christian Bruch.

For a long time, Russia has been supplying significantly less gas through the Nord Stream 1 Baltic Sea pipeline than would be technically possible. The reason given is problems with the turbine, the return of which has been delayed for weeks after maintenance in Canada.
