LONDON — An ominous warning from Russia’s state-backed energy giant Gazprom
has stoked fears of another turbulent winter for European gas supplies.
As a pre-summer heatwave hits western Europe this week, policymakers in the
region are scrambling to fill underground storage with natural gas supplies
to provide households with enough fuel to keep the lights on and homes warm
before the cold returns.
Fears of a severe winter gas shortage are driven by the risk of a full supply
disruption to the EU — which receives roughly 40% of its gas via Russian
pipelines. The bloc is trying to rapidly reduce its reliance on Russian
hydrocarbons in response to the Kremlin’s nearly four-month-long onslaught
in Ukraine.
The worry for many is just how dependable Russian gas flows are to Europe as
the conflict continues and as economic sanctions bite. Indeed, Moscow has
already cut gas supplies to Finland, Poland, Bulgaria Denmark’s Orsted,
Dutch firm Gasterra and energy giant Shell for its German contracts, all over
a gas-for-rubles payment dispute.
More recently, Russia’s Gazprom opted to further limit supplies via the Nord
Stream 1 pipeline that runs from Russia to Germany under the Baltic Sea, and
reduced flows to Italy.
Gazprom on Wednesday cited a technical problem for the supply cut, saying the
problem stemmed from the delayed return of equipment serviced by Germany’s
Siemens Energy in Canada. Austria and Slovakia have also reported supply
reductions from Russia.
What’s more, in fiery comments likely to have sent alarm bells ringing
throughout the bloc, Gazprom CEO Alexei Miller said Thursday that Russia will
play by its own rules after the firm halved supplies to Germany.
“Our product, our rules. We don’t play by rules we didn’t create,” Miller
said during a panel session at the St. Petersburg International Economic
Forum, according to The Moscow Times.
Miller reportedly said the return of equipment at the Portovaya compressor
station — part of the Nord Stream 1 pipeline that carries Russian gas to
Germany — had been hampered by an unprecedented barrage of economic
sanctions. He added that he saw no solution to the problem.
German Economy Minister Robert Habeck has rejected the claim that Western
sanctions were to blame and slammed Russia’s supply curbs as a “political
decision” designed to unsettle the region and ramp up gas prices.
Wholesale Dutch gas prices, a European benchmark for natural gas trading,
jumped as much as 9% during Friday morning deals, before paring gains.
Energy rationing warning
The latest dispute appears to reaffirm the risk for European countries highly
dependent on Russian gas, especially amid growing fears that Moscow could
implement a broader squeeze on supplies in the coming months.
Underlining the seriousness of these concerns, IEA chief executive Faith
Birol warned last week that EU countries may be at risk of winter energy
rationing if member states do not take more steps to improve energy
efficiency.
The European Commission, the executive arm of the EU, said on Friday it was
aware of Gazprom’s announcements that it would reduce flows via Nord Stream
1 as well as deliveries to several companies across the EU.
A spokesperson for the bloc described the move as “yet another example of
Gazprom and Russia’s use of its energy supplies as an instrument of
blackmail.”
“Based on our exchange with the national authorities yesterday via the Gas
Coordination Group, there is no indication of an immediate security of supply
risk, but we will keep monitoring the situation very closely and remain in
contact with the national authorities of the affected countries,” they added.
It is not yet known when or if Nord Stream 1 gas flows will return to normal
levels.

伦敦——俄罗斯国家支援的能源巨头俄罗斯天然气工业股份公司（Gazprom）发出的一个
不祥警告，引发了人们对欧洲天然气供应又一个动荡冬季的担忧。
随着本周夏前热浪袭击西欧，该地区的政策制定者正争先恐后地用天然气供应填充地下储
存，为家庭提供足够的燃料，以便在寒冷回归之前保持照明和家庭温暖。
对冬季天然气严重短缺的担忧是由欧盟全面供应中断的风险驱动的 - 欧盟通过俄罗斯管
道获得约40%的天然气。该集团正试图迅速减少对俄罗斯碳氢化合物的依赖，以应对克里
姆林宫在乌克兰近四个月的猛攻。
许多人担心的是，随着冲突的持续和经济制裁的加剧，俄罗斯向欧洲输送天然气的可靠性
。事实上，莫斯科已经削减了对芬兰、波兰、保加利亚、丹麦Orsted、荷兰公司Gasterra
和能源巨头壳牌的德国合同供应，所有这些都是因为一场以天然气换卢布的支付纠纷。
最近，俄罗斯天然气工业股份公司选择通过波罗的海从俄罗斯到德国的Nord Stream 1管
道进一步限制供应，并减少流向意大利的流量。
俄罗斯天然气工业股份公司（Gazprom）周三引用了减产的技术问题，称问题源于德国西
门子能源公司在加拿大服务的设备延迟归还。奥地利和斯洛伐克也报告俄罗斯减少了供应
。
更重要的是，俄罗斯天然气工业股份公司首席执行官阿列克谢·米勒（Alexei Miller）
周四表示，在可能对整个欧盟敲响警钟的激烈评论中，俄罗斯将在该公司将对德国的供应
量减半后按照自己的规则行事。
“我们的产品，我们的规则。我们不按照我们没有创造的规则行事，“米勒在圣彼德堡国
际经济论坛的小组会议上说，据《莫斯科时报》报导。
据报导，米勒表示，Portovaya压缩机站的设备归还 - 将俄罗斯天然气输送到德国的
Nord Stream 1管道的一部分 - 受到前所未有的经济制裁的阻碍。他补充说，他没有看到
解决问题的方法。
德国经济部长罗伯特·哈贝克（Robert Habeck）驳斥了西方制裁应受到指责的说法，并
抨击俄罗斯的供应限制是一项旨在扰乱该地区并推高天然气价格的“政治决定”。
荷兰天然气批发价格是欧洲天然气交易的基准，在周五早盘的交易中上涨了9%，之后收盘
涨幅。
能源配给警告
最近的争端似乎再次证实了欧洲国家高度依赖俄罗斯天然气的风险，尤其是在人们越来越
担心莫斯科可能在未来几个月内对供应实施更广泛的挤压的情况下。
国际能源署首席执行官菲丝·比罗尔（Faith Birol）上周警告说，如果成员国不采取更
多措施提高能源效率，欧盟国家可能会面临冬季能源配给的风险。
欧盟执行机构欧盟委员会周五表示，它意识到俄罗斯天然气工业股份公司宣布将减少通过
Nord Stream 1的流量以及向欧盟多家公司的交付。
该集团的一位发言人将此举描述为“俄罗斯天然气工业股份公司和俄罗斯利用其能源供应
作为勒索工具的又一例证”。。
“根据我们昨天通过天然气协调小组与国家当局的交流，没有迹象表明存在直接的安全供
应风险，但我们将继续非常密切地监测局势，并与受影响国家的国家当局保持联系，”他
们补充说。
目前尚不清楚Nord Stream 1气体流何时或是否会恢复到正常水准。
心得/评论：
能源价格高涨 欧美一方面制裁一方面又幻想能用经济手段强迫人家低价卖油
搞得CPI压不下去.
摊开美CPI来看,扣除能源的占比,仅有平均4%
所以如果要压CPI就势必要搞定能源.
但俄国放话了,表明对商品有话语权.只卖友好国家.
像是印度已经成为俄油大户了.
