On October 8, 2012, just 30 months after the start of construction, both lines of Nord Stream's twin pipeline system came on-stream. This occasion was celebrated at an event held in Portovaya Bay, Russia, near the starting point of the pipelines at the Baltic Coast. In a video message shown for the occasion, Mark Rutte, Prime Minister of the Netherlands said: “It’s hard to overstate the importance of the Nord Stream project. The International Energy Agency calls this ‘the Golden Age of Gas’. And with good reason. Natural gas is relatively cheap and much cleaner than other fossil fuels. So as we seek large-scale renewable energy solutions, natural gas remains the transition fuel of choice.”
