The study will describe how the installation of electrical equipment on Troll B and C, as well as the replacement of the gas turbine with electric compressors on Troll C, can be carried out. This will enable Equinor’s goal to provide electricity to Troll B and C through power cables from Kollsnes in the Bergen area on the west coast of Norway. The transition to onshore power could reduce CO2 emissions from Troll B and C by about 450,000 tons per year.
“We are very pleased to have secured a major electrification project for an existing offshore production facility on the Continental Shelf of Norway,” said Luis Araujo, CEO of Aker Solutions. “Our ambition is to generate 25% of our revenue from low-carbon solutions, such as electrification, by 2030. The electrification of Troll B and C is a great example of how we are executing our strategy and helping operators significantly reduce emissions.”
