Russia has paused its gas supplies following a maintenance check on its last remaining compressor
Russia’s Nord Stream 1 gas pipeline is undergoing repairs for the next three days.

The gas is administered by the energy giant Gazprom, which has already reduced its streaming capacity down to 20 per cent.
The company blaming maintenance and western sanctions for the sluggish performance.
“We need a new market model for electricity that really functions and brings us back into balance.”
