Russia's Yamal-Europe gas pipeline switched back into reverse mode on Sunday morning, resuming supplies from Germany to Poland after short intermittent westbound flows overnight, data from German network operator Gascade showed.
Markets have been on edge about possible disruptions to energy supplies following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, although Russian commodity exports have not been seriously affected so far. Russia calls its actions in Ukraine a "special operation".
Gascade data showed eastbound flows at the Mallnow metering point in Germany resumed on Sunday morning at a pace of almost 5 million kilowatt hours per hour .According to renominations, or preliminary bids, the pipeline is expected to stay in reverse mode until at least Monday morning. It had shipped gas in normal mode - westbound, from Poland to Germany - for around 10 hours overnight, mostly at a scale of 12.6 million kWh/h.
Gas in the German-Polish section of the pipeline had been flowing eastward since Dec. 21 as buyers in Poland drew on stored supplies from Germany rather than buying more Russian gas at high spot prices.
