" Energy analysts said it was not clear who would stand to benefit from the leaks at a time when neither line was operational. But some suspect a possible connection to the planned start-up of a new gas pipeline link between Norway — now Europe’s biggest supplier of gas — and Poland. Frederiksen is in Poland for the opening ceremony of the pipeline, which will deliver Norwegian supplies through Denmark to Poland for the first time. “The leak on Nord Stream 2 is very close to the new Baltic Pipe that will bring Norwegian gas to Poland for the first time . . . so there’s some heavy symbolism,” said Tom Marzec-Manser, at energy consultancy ICIS. “For EU gas imports it’s a new dawn for Norway and twilight for Russia.”
