The Russian energy giant Gazprom has significantly reduced its deliveries to European countries in recent days, mainly to Germany via the Nord Stream 1 pipeline, which may have caused France to cut off supplies.
France relies on Russia for about 17% of its gas, which reaches the country either through pipelines or in liquefied form. Most reach France via pipeline from Germany.
Flow had already fallen by 60% since the beginning of the year, according to GRTgaz. For the past two days, supplies through the pipeline have dropped to zero.
However France imports gas from other countries, including Spainwhich recently increased its deliveries.
