In 2007 Statoil awarded ABB Power Technologies a NOK 500 million contract to supply a high‑voltage submarine power cable for the Gjøa electrification project, running about 100km from the Mongstad facility in Nord-Hordaland to the Gjøa floating platform in the North Sea. The contract covers engineering, procurement, fabrication and installation of what was described as the world’s longest cable of its kind, enabling power-from-shore to the Gjøa platform and significantly reducing CO₂ emissions compared with offshore power generation.
