MOSCOW, March 3 (Reuters) - Russian energy company Gazprom on
Thursday resumed westbound natural gas supplies via the Yamal-Europe
pipeline to Germany from Poland, data from Gascade pipeline operator
showed, with flows expected to continue until at least Friday
morning.

Early on Thursday, Gascade's data showed the flow had stopped on the
pipeline, which usually accounts for about 15% of Russia's westbound
supply of gas to Europe and Turkey.

Gazprom has intermittingly sent gas westward via the link in recent
days amid high demand in Europe. It has also increased supplies to
Europe via Ukraine, another key route. read more

Gazprom said on Thursday it was shipping gas to Europe via Ukraine in
line with customers' requests.

Russian energy supplies, including gas which accounts for some 40% of
European gas demand, have been in spotlight amid Kremlin's tensions
with the West and invasion of Ukraine, which Russia describes as a
"special operation".

Flows from Poland to Germany on the pipeline have been at 5.9 million
kilowatt-hour per hour (kWh/h), while renominations, or preliminary
bids, stand at 19.3 million kWh/h until Friday morning, after Gazprom
booked daily capacity at auctions. S8N2UP02W

Unstable Russian gas supplies and high demand for the fuel as
economies recover from the coronavirus pandemic have led to a spike
in gas prices in Europe.

The German-Polish section of the pipeline switched into reverse,
eastbound, mode on Dec. 21 as buyers in Poland drew on stored
supplies from Germany rather than buying more Russian gas at high
spot prices. read more

Gazprom restarted westbound flows intermittently from last weekend.
