The Danish Energy Agency has granted a permit to Nord Stream 2 AG to operate a section of the Nord Stream 2 pipelines on a number of conditions to ensure a safe operation of the pipelines.
On November 18, 2019, Nord Stream 2 AG applied for a permit to operate the Nord Stream 2 pipelines on the Danish continental shelf.
Conditions in the construction permit of Nord Stream 2 of 30 October 2019 are maintained to the extent that they have not yet been met or are relevant in connection with operations phase.
Commissioning can only take place when at least one of the pipelines has been tested, verified and when relevant conditions in the construction permit and the operations permit have been met.
