At Haugsneset, not far from Kårstø, activity levels will rise in the coming years. Here, Aibel is building a converter substation on behalf of Statoil. The substation will convert AC current to DC current before the energy is sent to the platforms on the Johan Sverdrup field. The project, which Aibel carries out in close cooperation with subcontractors Norconsult and Veidekke, will continue until the autumn of 2018.
