Already days before the July 22 European \u201cDoomsday\u201d<\/a> when the scheduled Russian 10-day maintenance of the crucial Nord Stream pipeline to Germany is slated to end \u2013 but which was thrown into deep doubt given Gazprom recently said it can no longer guarantee its \u201cgood functioning\u201d due to crucial turbines being previously held up in Canada related to sanctions \u2013 the Russian energy giant has declared\u00a0<\/strong>Force Majeure\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>to one major European customer<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Simply put, Gazprom declared extraordinary and extreme circumstances to void itself from all contractual obligations to this customer, thus the gas will stop flowing indefinitely, as Reuters<\/em> reports in a breaking development Monday, \u201cRussian gas export monopoly Gazprom\u00a0has declared force majeure on gas supplies to Europe to at least one major customer starting June 14, according to the letter seen by Reuters.\u201d The letter is dated July 14. \u201cIt said the force majeure measure, a clause invoked when a business is hit by something beyond its control, was effective from deliveries starting from June 14,\u201d writes Reuters<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

The letter invoked \u201cextraordinary\u201d circumstances outside the company\u2019s control,\u00a0Reuters<\/em> continues, citing a source saying the customer in question is Germany via the Nord Stream 1 pipeline<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

And Bloomberg<\/em> is also confirming:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • GAZPROM SENT FORCE MAJEURE NOTICE TO AT LEAST 3 BUYERS<\/li>\n
  • GAZPROM FORCE MAJEURE NOTICE APPLIES TO FLOWS FROM JUNE 14<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • UNIPER SAYS IT HAS RECEIVED LETTER FROM GAZPROM EXPORT IN WHICH COMPANY RETROACTIVELY CLAIMS FORCE MAJEURE FOR PAST AND CURRENT SHORTFALLS IN GAS DELIVERIES<\/li>\n
  • UNIPER: WE CONSIDER THIS TO BE UNJUSTIFIED AND HAVE FORMALLY REJECTED FORCE MAJEURE CLAIM<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

    It seems this letter declaring its legal release from supply obligations going back to June 14 is in preparation for definitive action on July 22, namely that the pipeline\u2019s operations are likely to remain suspended past the scheduled reboot\/supply back online designated date.<\/p>\n

    EU – Whilst you are distracted by hysterical news reports about climate, the real heat (or lack of) is in Europe.<\/p>\n

    Russian Gazprom has declared a Force Majeure notice on gas deliveries.<\/p>\n

    Meaning \u2026 there won\u2019t be any!<\/p>\n

    This is huge news.https:\/\/t.co\/gMilU5VKSr<\/a><\/p>\n
