Eastbound gas flow volumes on the Yamal-Europe pipeline to Poland from Germany and flows of Russian gas to Europe via Ukraine were little changed on Wednesday morning, data from pipeline operators showed. Exit flows at the Mallnow metering point on the German border stood at 851,975 kilowatt hours (kWh) per hour between 0700 CET and 0800 CET, in line with volumes seen the previous day.

Nominations, or requests, for Russian gas into Slovakia from Ukraine via the Velke Kapusany border point were a touch lower at 26.9 million cubic metres (mcm), compared with 27.1 mcm the previous day, Ukrainian transmission system data showed. Kremlin-controlled supplier Gazprom will ship 32.6 mcm of gas to Europe via Ukraine on Wednesday, unchanged from Tuesday but below levels seen previously.

The company shipped gas via Ukraine at between 35.4 mcm and 35.5 mcm for the past 10 days before Tuesday. Gas flows via the Nord Stream 1 pipeline, which crosses the Baltic Sea to Germany from Russia, remained at zero.

The pipeline was shut on Aug. 31 last year for what was supposed to be three days of maintenance but has not reopened, with Moscow blaming the situation on Western sanctions and technical issues. The pipeline has since been damaged by suspected sabotage.
