Turnkey EPCI of two parallel ~200 km, 80 kV offshore power cables from Haugsneset/Kårstø to the Johan Sverdrup Phase 2 processing platform, providing 200 MW power‑from‑shore capacity for Johan Sverdrup and the Utsira High area.
Contract Details
Description
Equinor and the Johan Sverdrup partnership awarded NKT an EPCI contract for the second power‑from‑shore link to the Johan Sverdrup field (Phase 2). The turnkey scope covers engineering, procurement, fabrication, installation and testing of two parallel 80 kV offshore power cables, each about 200 km long, running from the onshore converter station at Haugsneset near Kårstø to the Johan Sverdrup field centre on the Utsira High. Together these cables provide 200 MW of additional capacity, enabling full electrification of Johan Sverdrup Phase 2 and supplying power to the wider Utsira High area. The high‑voltage cables are manufactured at NKT’s Karlskrona plant and installed and buried along the subsea route by the cable‑laying vessel NKT Victoria. The contract, announced on 5 October 2018, has a value of just over NOK 1 billion and represents a continuation of NKT’s role from Phase 1.
