The Modalen-Mongstad 420 kV transmission line including the Fensfjorden submarine cable crossing was commissioned and placed into operation in late 2019. The cable system was built to 420 kV specification but entered service at 300 kV, consistent with the operating voltage of the wider Modalen-Mongstad-Kollsnes transmission ring. The project doubled transmission capacity in the Bergen and Nordhordland area. BKK Nett completed the project on behalf of Statnett under the terms of their 2016 asset transfer agreement.
