Nord Stream 1 gas pipeline resumes flows, easing supply concerns

RIYADH: Russia resumed pumping gas through its biggest pipeline to Germany on Thursday after a 10-day outage, the operator said, easing Europe’s supply concerns amid an economic tit-for-tat with the Kremlin over its invasion of Ukraine. 

On the Nord Stream AG website, physical flows were at 21,388,236 kilowatt-hour per hour for 0400 to 0500 GMT, from zero previously.

Europe has been on edge about the restart after the annual maintenance of the Nord Stream 1 gas pipeline, which accounts for more than a third of Russian gas exports to the EU.
