The Nord Stream 2 natural gas project faces a legal blow that may further delay the start of the controversial subsea pipeline from Russia to Germany.
The German energy regulator plans to deny the project an exemption to European rules that require separate ownership of gas and transmission lines, a Nord Stream 2 spokesman said. The Bundesnetzagentur confirmed it sent its intended decision to the project’s participants for comment last week.
