Federal Network Agency FRG confirmed the possibility of a quick launch of the Nord-2 gas pipeline. About this, the head of the press service of the regulator Fieve Wulf told Interfax.
Currently, the FRG agency demanded that the project operator confirm that the gas pipeline complies with EU standards. Wulf did not rule out that soon, one of the branches of the gas pipeline can be launched.
Therefore, he explained, the agency demanded “to provide references and confirm that all regulatory prerequisites were fulfilled in the launch of one binder branch.”
In early October, the Danish Energy Agency reported that the “Northern Stream-2” meets the requirements and may begin work. At about the same time, Nord Stream 2 announced that the first thread of the gas pipeline began to fill in gas as part of testing to achieve the required volume and pressure.
