Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s top energy official defended his country’s decision to release a sanctioned turbine for the key Nord Stream 1 gas pipeline,…

In testimony to lawmakers in Ottawa, Natural Resources Minister Jonathan Wilkinson said leaving Germany to rely more on an existing pipeline through Ukraine — as a replacement for Nord Stream — was deemed unworkable in part because of capacity constraints.

Wilkinson said he reviewed the proposal from Ukraine with technical experts from the International Energy Agency and discussed it with officials from the European Union and Germany. The flows through Ukraine would be “significantly less” than what can move through Nord Stream at full capacity, he said.Article content

Wilkinson added that Canada’s turbine decision was undertaken in close consultation with its NATO allies. He reiterated Germany’s argument the move effectively “called Putin’s bluff” by eliminating an excuse to curtail Nord Stream gas shipments to Germany.
