Austrian energy company OMV said in a statement that “we can confirm that Russia’s Gazprom has informed us of the reduction in gas supplies” but indicated that “supply to its customers is now guaranteed.”

In turn, “Gazprom” reported that “OMV delivered less gas.” This comes after the company also cut gas supplies to Germany and Italy in recent days.

Italian energy company Eni announced earlier today that “Russian Gazprom will supply only 65 percent of the required gas today,” after the Russian company cut gas deliveries to “… Eni” yesterday, the equivalent of about 15 percent.

The Italian company demanded “an increase in supplies to make up for the volumes that were not received on Wednesday after Gazprom’s decision to cut the company’s gas supplies in addition to normal business dynamics.”

A company representative pointed out that “Gazprom explained the short supply by technical problems at the Portovaya station, which feeds the Nord Stream gas pipeline, through which Gazprom transports part of the volumes sent to Eni.” But he pointed out that “the amount of gas to be delivered will be more than it was on Wednesday.”

And on Tuesday, Gazprom announced: “It is cutting gas supplies to Germany via the Nord Stream gas pipeline by more than 40% per day due to the inability to obtain the necessary equipment from a German company (Siemens).”
