After approval by CanadaSiemens wants to install repaired turbine for Nord Stream 1 as quickly as possible
After the release from Canada, Siemens wants to bring the turbine for Nord Stream 1 to Russia as soon as possible and install it there - despite the current sanctions. Kiev is "deeply disappointed."
Siemens wants to install the
Canadian-released turbine for the Nord Stream 1 gas pipeline in
Russia as soon as possible. "Our goal is to transport the turbine to its location as quickly as possible," explained a company spokesman on Sunday. The Canadian government had issued a temporary special export permit on Saturday.
Ottawa had hesitated because the delivery of the serviced turbine to the Russian energy company
Gazprom would have violated sanctions regulations. Now, however, the turbine is being delivered to
Germany.
Berlin had made intensive efforts to release the turbines at Canada in recent weeks. Minister of Economic Affairs
Robert Habeck (Greens) had proposed to the Canadian government to deliver the turbine to
Germany if this made the decision legally easier.
The Ministry of Energy and Foreign Affairs of
Ukraine announced that they were "deeply disappointed" with Canada's decision. The Canadian government must reverse the decision, according to a statement published on the homepage of the Ministry of Energy. Canada would otherwise submit to "the whims of Russia."
"The Germans themselves run the risk that they will not be able to heat their houses in the coming winter."
Jonathan Wilkinson, Canadian Minister of Natural Resources
"Without the necessary supply of natural gas, the German economy will have very great difficulties," explained the Canadian Minister of Natural Resources, Jonathan Wilkinson. "And the Germans themselves run the risk that they will not be able to heat their houses in the coming winter." Wilkinson accused Russia's President
Vladimir Putin of trying to "seed" on the energy issue among Ukraine allies.
Moscow had cited the failure of a turbine in mid-June as a reason for
throttling its gas supplies via the Nord Stream pipeline. The federal government doubted this argument and described the process as politically motivated.
Canada's political decision is "a necessary and important first step" for the export license of the turbine, explained the Siemens spokesman. Currently, the company's experts are working "highly on all other formal permits and logistics." These include processes that are subject to export and import control.
"We welcome the decision of our Canadian friends and allies," said a spokesman for the federal government. The Federal Ministry of Economics appreciated a "good and constructive exchange" with Ottawa.
On Monday morning, the Nord Stream 1 Baltic Sea pipeline will be temporarily shut down due to annually recurring maintenance work announced by the operator a long time ago. Habeck, among others, has expressed acute concerns that Russia could not turn on the gas tap even after the maintenance has been completed. As the operating company Nord Stream AG announced, the work is to be carried out by the 21st. July last. During this time, no gas will be transported to Germany.
Nach der Freigabe aus Kanada will Siemens die Turbine für Nord Stream 1 so schnell wie möglich nach Russland bringen und dort einbauen – trotz der aktuellen Sanktionen. Kiew zeigt sich »zutiefst enttäuscht«.
