The Russian state company Gazprom is ready to deliver more gas to Europe. “Is it possible to get more gas from Gazprom and pump it there? It is possible. Gazprom is ready,” said Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov on Sunday, according to Interfax news agency. In addition, Gazprom has already covered all additional orders. Peskow pointed out that Gazprom itself was very interested in the deliveries. The customers in Europe are the most important partners of the group. The International Energy Agency (IEA) had accused Russia and EU parliamentarians of not delivering enough gas to Europe. Russia wants to force the controversial Nord Stream 2 pipeline into operation quickly via high gas prices, according to the allegation. In Europe, prices have risen by 250 percent this year. This is also very noticeable in Germany. The Lower Saxony gas supplier Deutsche Energiepool recently announced that it had terminated the supply contracts for many customers. The procurement prices have risen unexpectedly high. The big supplier Eon stepped in in this case.
