Description
Lundin Norway (now Aker BP) awarded NKT a turnkey contract to design, manufacture and install the 132 kV AC XLPE subsea power cable linking the Edvard Grieg production platform to the Johan Sverdrup field centre on the Utsira High. The project covers engineering of the high‑voltage cable system, production of approximately 24 km of single‑core HVAC submarine cable at NKT’s Karlskrona factory, and offshore installation and commissioning, using the cable‑laying vessel NKT Victoria. The Edvard Grieg–Johan Sverdrup seabed link forms the core of the Edvard Grieg electrification project, enabling the platform – and its tied‑in Ivar Aasen neighbour – to receive renewable power from shore via the Johan Sverdrup hub, thereby replacing gas‑turbine generation and significantly reducing CO₂ emissions.
