Nord Stream-2 will be built around the territorial waters of Denmark, allowing for the Russia-Germany pipeline to completed by the end of this year, the operating company reports. On Friday, Nord Stream AG informed the Danish Energy Agency that it is withdrawing its request to lay the Baltic pipeline near Denmark’s Bornholm island. Instead, the company says it will either route the pipeline north or south of the island. The Swiss-based company did not say how much cost this would add to the $12 billion, 1,220 km gas line.
