In 2005, BP decided that the new Valhall PH platform and the Valhall field would be supplied entirely with electricity from shore via the Lista–Valhall subsea power cable, effectively taking investment decision on the HVDC Light power‑from‑shore scheme. In the Plan for Development and Operation the cost of installing power from shore was estimated at about NOK 1.8 billion for the onshore and offshore converter stations and the 294 km subsea cable, with final costs later calculated at roughly NOK 2 billion.
