Customer Success Story

Johan Sverdrup

Bringing power-from-shore to the platform complex in the North Sea lowers CO2 emissions, gives a reliable power supply, safer and better work environment on the platforms and reduced costs for operation and maintenance.

For equinor, Hitachi Energy delivered the equipment for two ±80 kilovolt 100 MW HVDC Light® converter stations. One station is situated on-shore at Haugsneset, near the Statoil Kårstø plant on the Norwegian west coast, the other on the platform situated 200 km west of the Norwegian coastline.

The Johan Sverdrup installation located at Utsira Height is expected to become the largest producing oil field in the North Sea by the time it reaches its peak. In the first phase of the development plan four platforms will be built and production startup was in 2018.

Hitachi Energy has 100% of all world's HVDC power-from-shore projects in operation. Statoil’s Troll A 1&2, delivered in 2005, BP’s Valhall, delivered in 2011, Troll A 3&4, delivered in 2015 and Equinor's Johan Sverdrup, delivered in 2018. All are located in the North Sea.
