Norges vassdrags- og energidirektorat (NVE) granted Statnett a concession for the construction and operation of a new 420 kV subsea cable connection between a new jointing station at Teigen in Vestfold and a new jointing station at Evje in Østfold in the Oslofjord. The licence allows up to three sets of 420 kV submarine cables (nine cables), and includes permission to operate and maintain the existing cable installation for five years after the new system is commissioned, with the aim of securing transmission capacity across the Oslofjord and improving security of supply in the Østland region.
