Gas prices in Europe soared again

According to the report of Fars News Agency’s International Correspondent Group, quoted by TASS, in today’s transactions of the European energy market, the price of one thousand cubic meters of natural gas reached 2450 dollars, which was the highest amount in the last five months.

In general, the price of gas has grown by 6% in today’s transactions in the European market.

The export of Russian gas to Europe through the Nord Stream 1 pipeline is currently running at 20% of capacity, and Gazprom has stated that the reason for the decrease in its exports is the outage of two pressure boosting turbines.

One of these turbines, manufactured by Siemens, was sent to Montreal, Canada for repair, but Canada refused to return this turbine for a long time under the pretext of sanctions against Russia, but finally, under pressure from Germany, it agreed to return this turbine a few days later. Gazprom announced that another turbine was out of order.

On the other hand, the operator of the Ukrainian gas pipelines has stopped the transfer of gas to Europe through the Sukhranuka station in Ukraine for several months.
