General – Power from shore Project
Linjepartner has been selected by Norwegian oil and gas player Aker BP as partner for delivery of overhead lines in the Yggdrasil power from shore project.
The contract will secure activity and jobs in the Levanger-based company for several years.
“This represents the selection of the final major civil construction partner for the Yggdrasil power from shore delivery line. With this contract in place, we are in line with our execution strategy,” states Project manager Tormod Huseby.
The value of the contract is more than NOK 100 million, plus procurement of material.
The power from shore concept will secure a reliable and stable power supply to the Yggdrasil area with very low emissions. The concept includes a new transformer station in Børdalen in Samnanger, 11 kilometres of powerline and cable in Samnanger, a compensation station at Årskog in Fitjar, and a total of 255 kilometres of sea cable from Samnanger to the Yggdrasil area in the North Sea.
“Linjepartner will deliver the 132 kV overhead lines totalling 26 masts from Børdalen to Gaupeholsmarka in Samnanger. The company will also deliver the 300 kV tie-in to Statnett’s transformer station in Børdalen with two new towers,” explains Onshore manager Dines Haslund.
In April, Aker BP received the power licence to connect Yggdrasil to the national grid in in Samnanger.
Onshore construction work is expected to start in October. The plan is to start delivery from Linjepartner in October with completion by August 2025.
