In December 2018, the Martin Linge offshore platform was physically hooked up to receive shore power via the world’s longest high-voltage AC subsea cable, a 162 km, 145 kV three-core HVAC link from the onshore substation at Kollsnes north of Bergen. This hook-up completed the connection of the field’s main facilities to the Norwegian onshore grid, enabling future platform operations to be powered from shore rather than by onsite generators and paving the way for substantial CO2 emission reductions once production started.
