Extreme heat continues to bear down on western Europe, boosting the need for cooling and electricity
“We are working on every possible scenario and one of the scenarios that we have to factor in contingency planning is the possibility of flows not restarting,” a Commission spokesman told a regular press briefing on Tuesday.
Nord Stream is the main gas artery to the European Union, and one of the most prominent symbols of Moscow’s grip on the bloc’s energy supply. Regional tensions are high over Russia’s war in Ukraine, and EU countries are rushing to fill gas storage ahead of winter. That task has been challenged by tight fuel supplies and soaring summer temperatures that are boosting energy demand for cooling.
Gazprom has declared force majeure on shipments to several European buyers over the past month, according to people familiar with the matter. Russia earlier this year cut supplies to several EU countries over a payment dispute and flows via Ukraine have been muted for months.
