On November 8, 2013, Total E&P Norge AS contracted Siemens to build the onshore Martin Linge substation at Kollsnes, which connects the Norwegian mainland electrical grid to the offshore Martin Linge field via a 161 km high-voltage AC power and communications subsea cable. Siemens was given full EPC responsibility for the onshore facilities, including 300 kV and 100 kV onshore cables, transformers, gas-insulated switchgear, SVC PLUS reactive compensation, and substation automation, with commissioning targeted for 2015.
