Nord Stream 2 allows the transfer of the completion of the construction of the "SP-2"
The construction of Nord Stream-2 can be delayed and be completed in the second half of 2020, if Denmark only approves the project by the end of this year. This is reported by RIA News with reference to the Nord Stream 2 report to the application for the third route option.
According to the report, the completion of the construction of the “SP-2” can be postponed to the second half of next year during the implementation of the project on the third option of the gas pipeline route, if Denmark agrees to the project closer to the end of the current year.
At the moment, Denmark remains the last state that does not give permission for the construction of a gas pipeline, although it already had two pipelines already sent to it. The third variant of the route, involving the laying of a gas pipeline south-east of Bornholm, passing through the exclusive economic zone of Denmark, construction operator Nord Stream 2 AG filed 15 on April of this year, public hearings on it in Denmark are scheduled for June 19.
Thus, the construction operator has already filed three applications for the construction of a gas pipeline: along the main route in the country's territorial waters to the south of Bornholm, an alternative in the exclusive economic zone of Denmark north-west of Bornholm and southeast of Bornholm also in the exclusive economic zone.
If Denmark receives any of the above routes in the near future, the construction of the Nord Stream-2 can be completed by the end of this year, since all permits from Germany, Sweden, Finland and Russia have long been received.
Meanwhile, while Gazprom resolves issues with the laying of a gas pipeline, the Ukraine has once again begun to lament about Russia's refusal from the Ukrainian gas transportation system.
According to the head of Naftogaz, Andrei Kobolev, Russia may suspend the use of the Ukrainian gas transport system for supplying fuel to Europe next year, even if SP-2 is not completed on time. This is allegedly shown by Gazprom’s active buildup of fuel reserves in Europe.
Of course, Kobolev did not forget to remind that in this case Kiev will lose three billion dollars in annual revenue, which is about three percent of the country's GDP. However, he did not voice exactly what amount of this money reaches the state treasury, and does not sink into the pockets of officials.
