After creating a Nord Stream 2 AG daughter in Germany, an alternative supplier will formally appear, which will make it possible to fill in the pipe with large volumes of gas, and not 50 percent, as previously required. The economist analyst “Finam” Alexey Korenev said about this “Lente.ru”.
Nord Stream 2 AG decided to create a “daughter” in Germany for the German part of the pipe. It is expected that the “Northern Flow-2” certification process will be completed after its creation. According to Korenev, this option is equally profitable both for Russia and for Germany.
“This means only one thing: Germany is interested in Russian gas. She, by the way, is the only one does not support the system of exchange pricing. So, if it creates your” daughter “, it will allow us to fill out” North Stream-2 “not 50 percent, and much more, that is, Russia receives the theoretical ability to pump out normal gas volumes, “the economist explained.
Korenev stressed that thus Germany guarantees gas supplies for themselves and certainly concludes long-term contracts at fixed prices.
Earlier, in October, the German Ministry of Energy issued its conclusion on the “Northern Stream-2”. The agency admitted that the exploitation of the pipeline does not threaten Europe’s energy security.
