Gazprom Cuts Gas to Two Energy Firms in Denmark, Germany

 

The move came as Denmark’s largest power company and Shell Energy in Germany refused to pay for supplies in rubles.

 

“As of the end of the business day on May 31, Gazprom Export had not received payment for gas supplies in April from Orsted Salg & Service,” the Russian energy giant said Wednesday.

 

The company added that in 2021, Gazprom Export supplied the Danish company with 1.97 bcm of gas, which amounted to about two thirds of total gas consumption in Denmark.

 

Shell accounts for just 2.6% of the 95 bcm of natural gas Germany consumes each year - most of Germany’s larger gas buyers, including Uniper and RWE, have agreed to the Kremlin’s ruble payment scheme.
