On 19 February 2024, the Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate (NVE) granted Arva AS an anleggskonsesjon (construction licence) to build the new Øresvik transformer station, extend the existing Lovund transformer station, and construct a new 33 kV connection from Øresvik to Lovund. The licensed infrastructure includes an approximately 1.4 km land cable from Øresvik transformer station to Kvina and about 38.3 km of submarine cable from Kvina to Lovund, enabling the Kvina–Lovund interconnector segment to proceed.
