On 15 December 2022, OKEA and Equinor, together with their license partners, took the investment decision to electrify the Draugen field and the Njord A platform via power from shore, including the shore-to-Draugen connection that underpins the Draugen (Electrification) interconnector. The partners submitted revised plans for development and operation to the Norwegian Ministry of Petroleum and Energy, committing to an estimated total investment of about NOK 7.3 billion, shared between the Draugen and Njord licenses, to cut combined CO2 emissions by roughly 330,000 tonnes per year.
