The Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate (NVE) has given StatoilHydro the go-ahead to build a 90 kV AC connection from Mongstad to the Gjøa field. The subsea cable will provide the field with power from land, contributing to reduced CO2 and NOx emissions.
The subsea cable and accessories will – according to NVE assessment – be significantly less environmental impact. NVE has focused on this alternative rather than the Luteland alternative, as will means fewer delays.

The development plan for the Gjøa field commencement in October 2010 has not been affected by this decision. The Petroleum and Energy Ministry has emphasised that the Gjøa development should remain on schedule.
Following assessment of all factors, NVE decided that Mongstad was the optimal connecting point, as the risk for delays are minimal and new power lines are not required within the secondary network.
StatoilHydro has not chosen to reapply for this solution, and NVE will continue the processing of the necessary plans for the Luteland alternative until the necessary legal decision for connecting of the Gjøa felt are finalised.
