Nord Stream 2 Pipeline Finishes Construction
The $11BN Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline finished construction across the Baltic Sea, though it never entered commercial service and was later damaged by underwater explosions.
- Nord Stream 2 AG (100% Gazprom) announced completion of pipe laying for the second branch of Nord Stream 2 on 6 September 2021; the first line was finalised in June and was being tested
- Laying took from September 2018 to September 2021, more than two years later than the planned April 2018 to December 2019
- The official budget was not to exceed EUR 10 billion, though Sberbank analysts estimated about EUR 14.5 billion or more
- Delays came from Polish antimonopoly proceedings, slow Danish permits and US sanctions in December 2019 that halted work for nearly 12 months
- Certification by German and Danish regulators and EU gas directive rules were still outstanding, with the launch date unclear

Something missing or wrong? Say it in your own words: a link that backs this pin up, a different start or end date and why, or a fact it lacks or gets wrong. The AI checks it against this pin's sources, searches for better ones, and adds any page that backs you up. The pin's own sources still count most.
