Statnett provided its input to NVE’s strategic impact assessment for Vestavind B, assessing grid connection concepts and system capacity for power from the area. The study, assuming a 1,400 MW offshore wind project, concluded that the southern part of Vestavind B could be connected to the planned Øygarden 420 kV substation south of Sognefjorden, while an additional 500–700 MW might be connectable north of Sognefjorden via Ålfoten or a possible future Grov substation, subject to other production and demand developments and potential use of system protection measures and curtailment.
