In 2010, the operators of the Edvard Grieg, Ivar Aasen and Gina Krog fields initiated a joint study to assess a common power-from-shore solution for these developments on the Utsira High. The feasibility work examined using high-voltage direct current (HVDC) and high-voltage alternating current (HVAC) transmission from the Norwegian onshore grid to supply offshore platforms, and concluded that while HVDC was technically feasible, the overall solution was considered too costly at that time, marking an early concept stage for future electrification of Gina Krog.
