Gazprom further reduces gas supplies to Austria

Austria’s OMV said Monday that Gazprom was further reducing the supply of gas, as the Russian giant began 10 days of routine maintenance on its Nord Stream 1 pipeline.

“OMV has been informed by Gazprom about a reduction in the gas supply. This means for today a reduction of about 70 percent of the amount that arrives at the Baumgarten natural gas hub” near the Slovak border, the group said in a statement emailed to AFP.
