Nord Stream 2 good for energy security – report
OPAL allows Eastern European markets to be served from the west.
The Nord Stream 2 project could bear dividends for consumers at the centre of Europe and define the role of the European Commission as an energy policy actor, Professor Andreas Goldthau has told Interfax Natural Gas Daily.
Goldthau, author of the report Assessing Nord Stream 2: regulation, geopolitics and energy security in the EU, Central Eastern Europe and the UK, said that instead of sparking concern in European capitals, new Nord Stream lines should be seen as opportunities to further boost liquidity in EU markets. Goldthau’s report was published by the EUCERS centre at King’s College London and was funded by Nord Stream’s junior shareholders.
