Danish Power Agency gives essential permit for Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline project

The Danish Energy Company stated Wednesday it has granted a license to Nord Stream 2 AG to develop an area of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines in Danish waters southeast of Bornholm in the Baltic Sea.

" The license is approved pursuant to the Continental Rack Act as well as according to Denmark's commitments under the UN Convention on the Regulation of the Sea," the Danish Energy Company stated.

On August 10, 2018, the Danish Energy Firm got an application for a course northwest of Bornholm on the continental shelf. As the path increased a variety of questions in connection with the effect on the setting and delivery, the DEA asked for Nord Stream 2 AG in March 2019 to investigate a southeastern path on the continental shelf.

The Danish Energy Agency has deemed the southeastern route on the continental shelf to be better to the northwestern route for its minimal effect on the setting and shipping.

" Based upon consultation feedbacks as well as close dialogue with relevant Danish authorities, the Danish Energy Company has actually analyzed that the southeastern route which has been provided an authorization to is the preferable based upon environmental as well as safety considerations," the company said.

Among the two southeastern path options proposed by Nord Stream 2, the Danish Power Firm has accepted the quickest course, considering that this route gives the least threat and impact from an environmental as well as safety and security point of view and as a result is the more suitable choice.

Nord Stream 2-- which will certainly increase the capability of the gas hallway through the Baltic Sea to Germany to 110 Bcm/year-- still deals with significant opposition from the European Payment, nations in eastern Europe and the United States, which all state the pipe concentrates too much export ability to Europe using simply one course from one resource.

According to Gazprom's most recent update, some 2,042 kilometres of Nord Stream 2 has been laid to date-- or 83% of its complete length of 2,400 kilometres (2 strings of 1,200 kilometres).
