Finland and other Baltic states will not maintain the Balticconnector pipeline due to Russia

The operators of gas transmission systems in Finland and the Baltic states have agreed to postpone the summer maintenance of the Balticconnector pipeline, Finland’s Gasgrid said in a statement on Thursday.

“The summer capacity of the Balticconnector has been restored to normal levels,” said Elering of Estonia.

The pipeline, which connects Finland to Estonia, has become a major source of energy for Finnish companies following Russia’s decision last month to cut deliveries to the Scandinavian country as part of an energy dispute with the West over Ukraine. . Read the whole story

The decision to postpone maintenance on the Balticconnector was “due to a flow outage through the Imatra point,” Elering said. Imatra was, until May 21, the entry point of Russian gas into Finland.
