Onshore Construction Start

Statnett planned to start construction of the new 420 kV subsea cable connection between the new cable terminations at Teigen in Vestfold and Evje in Østfold in the second half of 2010, following the concession granted by NVE, with project representatives also indicating an intention to commence building works in the autumn. The works cover installation of up to three sets of 420 kV cables along a new 13 km route that bypasses Bastøy and includes associated onshore works at the new muffe (jointing) stations at Teigen and Evje.
