The construction of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline from Russia to Germany under the Baltic Sea hit a snag last month when Denmark’s Energy Agency asked the project developer Nord Stream AG to submit a third permit application for a new route southeast of Bornholm. The request triggered a forceful reaction from Nord Stream AG, which was established to build and operate the Gazprom-owned prospective pipeline. The company had already submitted two route applications and environmental impact assessments, but there has been no decision by the Danish Energy Agency.
