China’s energy crunch has resulted in power rationing in\u00a0more than half of the provinces<\/a>\u00a0and affected the world’s biggest production base for electronic gadgets to semiconductors to appliances, among other things. Beijing has ordered energy firms to “secure supplies at all costs<\/a>” as winter fast approaches to avoid shortages. But as we learn this morning, a Gazprom gas processing plant, connected to Russia’s sole gas pipeline to China, shuttered operations following a fire at the facility, according to\u00a0Bloomberg<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Irina Dmitruk, the spokeswoman for the Gazprom unit, said the blaze at the Amur processing facility in eastern Siberia was extinguished around 0500 London time.<\/p>\n

Bloomberg’s top energy analyst Javier Blas tweeted what appears to be a video of the fire at the processing plant. He said, “still unclear what’s the damage.”<\/p>\n
