Onshore Construction Start

Onshore construction for phase 2 of the Haugsneset power-from-shore plant, which will help supply electricity from land to Johan Sverdrup and establish the area solution for power from shore to the Utsira formation fields including Ivar Aasen, was planned to start at Haugsneset after the summer of 2019, involving around 120 Aibel employees in the construction phase. This follows Equinor’s award of the contract to Aibel to build phase 2 of the onshore power plant east of Kårstø, which is intended to provide the shared shore power solution for Edvard Grieg, Ivar Aasen and Gina Krog.
