The onshore HVDC converter station at Haugsneset near Kårstø, built by Aibel with HVDC equipment supplied by ABB and export cables installed by NKT, was officially brought into operation to supply the Johan Sverdrup field with power from shore. This commissioning of the land-based power-from-shore facility, connected by a 200 km cable to the offshore field centre, established the core infrastructure that will also be used to electrify other Utsira High fields including Ivar Aasen.
