In 2010, the operators of the Edvard Grieg, Ivar Aasen and Gina Krog fields initiated a joint study to evaluate a common power-from-shore solution for the Utsira High area. The study, which effectively formed the early development basis for the later Utsira High power hub and Edvard Grieg electrification, concluded that supplying the fields via a high-voltage direct current (HVDC) link was technically feasible but, at that time, considered too costly, while an AC solution was ruled out due to transmission losses.
