Equinor and its partners Petoro, Shell, TotalEnergies and ConocoPhillips took the final investment decision to proceed with the Troll West electrification project and simultaneously submitted the plan for development and operation to the Norwegian Minister of Petroleum and Energy. The decision covers partial electrification of Troll B and full electrification of Troll C with power from shore via high-voltage subsea cables from Kollsnes, representing a total investment of about NOK 7.9 billion and targeting annual CO2 emission reductions of roughly 450,000–500,000 tonnes and NOx cuts of about 1,700 tonnes.
