Europe’s energy crisis has loomed larger after Russian energy giant Gazprom said it couldn't resume the supply of natural gas through a major pipeline to Germany for now. 9News

The company cited what it said was a need for urgent maintenance work to repair key components in an announcement made just hours before it had been due to restart deliveries.

The move was the latest development in a saga in which Gazprom has advanced technical problems as the reason for reducing gas flows through Nord Stream 1 - explanations that German officials have rejected as a cover for a political power play following Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The continuing interruptions from Gazprom mean that “a winter with zero Russian gas is the central scenario for Europe.” he said. “There is only one way to prepare for that: reducing gas and electricity demand.”A view of the business tower Lakhta Centre, the headquarters of Russian gas monopoly Gazprom in St. Petersburg, Russia, Wednesday, April 27, 2022.

Gazprom started cutting supplies through Nord Stream 1 in mid-June, blaming delays to the delivery of a turbine that had been sent to Canada for repair. Canada has since allowed the turbine's delivery to Germany, which has said that nothing stands in the way of it being sent to Russia other than Russia saying it wants the part.
