According to data from natural gas operators, on Friday, March 4th, Western Natural Gas through Amal-European pipeline has stopped flowing, while Russian Natural Gas Industry Co., Ltd. is at a high level of additional delivery capacity through Ukraine. About 10 hours prior to the shutdown, MallNow metering point of the Westbound gas supply is approximately 17.5 million kilowatts hour / hour, the annual production capacity of 33 billion cubic meters (1.2 trillion cubic feet) natural gas, Amal – Europe The pipe accounts for nearly 15% of Russia.
Feng Delin, Chairman of the European Commission, met with Spanish President Pedro Sanchez, said: Spain can also play an important role in the provision of natural gas supply in EU.
