Russia says repaired gas turbine for Nord Stream 1 to be installed

Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said Monday that a repaired turbine would be installed at a compressor station of the Nord Stream 1 gas pipeline once it had returned from maintenance in Canada, with natural gas then to be supplied in "corresponding volumes."

He said that there was more Nord Stream 1 equipment that needed repairing and Siemens Energy, the company which is servicing the facilities, is aware of that.

The repaired turbine has caused criticism for Canada by Ukraine after the Canadian government gave permission for the turbine to be delivered to Germany, despite sanctions currently against Russia which is the majority owner of Gazprom. The Ukrainian World Congress had petitioned the Federal Court for a judicial review in hopes of stopping the turbines.
