Energy prices in Europe have continued to spike as the first string of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline from Russia to Europe is being filled with natural gas. According to pipeline operators, procedures are being carried out to test the pipeline’s capacity, but deliveries to the continent have not yet begun. Nord Stream 2 is still awaiting final authorization from German regulators to turn on the taps.

According to a recent report from Saxo Bank, the start of operations by Nord Stream 2 in the fourth quarter of this year could drive natural gas prices in Europe down to historic lows.
