On 30 January 2012 the Valhall power-from-shore HVDC Light system was officially transferred to BP’s operations department, from which date it could supply the entire Valhall field with electricity via the 294 km subsea cable from Lista. This handover marked the start of full commercial operation of the shore-power link, allowing the field to be run solely on imported electrical power instead of offshore gas turbines.
