In May 2018, Statoil started installation of the power-from-shore cable system for the Johan Sverdrup development, with the cable-laying vessel NKT Victoria beginning to lay nearly 200 kilometers of power cables from the converter station at Haugsneset near Kårstø out to the field in the North Sea. This cable infrastructure, which is described as the future lifeline of Johan Sverdrup, will in its second development phase enable power from shore to be extended to other Utsira High fields including Ivar Aasen, thereby underpinning the Ivar Aasen electrification project.
