On 11 April 2014, the Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate (NVE) granted Statnett a licence for new 420 kV subsea cable connections between Solberg and Brenntangen and between Filtvet and Brenntangen in the inner Oslofjord, including new landfall installations and muffe (transition) stations. The new licence allows replacement of the existing, ageing cables and associated infrastructure, which will be removed once the new facilities are in operation, in order to secure power supply and trading capacity for Eastern Norway.
