In 2021, Norwegian authorities approved the Plan for Development and Operation (PDO) for the Troll West electrification (TWEL) project, authorising Equinor and partners to proceed with partial electrification of Troll B and full electrification of Troll C from shore. This regulatory approval enabled investment in the subsea power cable system and platform modifications that are expected to cut around 450,000–500,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions annually and significantly reduce NOx emissions from the Troll field.
