Gas pumping via Yamal–Europe to Germany suspended again

MOSCOW, May 28 (PRIME) -- Capacities of the Yamal–Europe gas pipeline have not been booked for Thursday, and transit of Russian gas to Germany is suspended again, according to data of German and Polish gas transport operators seen by PRIME.

According to Gascade receiving the transit gas on the German territory, gas intake at the Mallnow station on the Poland–Germany border is suspended since 6:00 a.m. local time. Prior to that, the compressor station was receiving 11.5 million kilowatt-hours of gas, or 1.1 million cubic meters of gas per hour.

According to Poland’s GSA Platform operator, no capacities have been booked for Thursday, with 38.3 million kilowatt-hours still available.

A transit contract of Russian gas across Poland expired on May 16, and since May 17, gas is pumped basing on the results of auctions. The auction for June booked 94% of the Yamal–Europe capacity.
