Norwegian gas system operator Gassco and Canadian energy firm Enbridge are planning to develop a 350 MW offshore wind project in Norway.
The Havsul 1 wind farm will be used to power Norway’s Nyhamna gas processing plant. The plant is one of the biggest gas processing plants in the country handling output from Shell’s Ormen Lange field. Its capacity was raised to 84 million cubic meters (mcm) per day this year to accommodate gas from the Aasta Hansteen field.
Once operational, the Havsul 1 wind farm will produce up to 1 Terawatt hour (TWh) of electricity annually with some of the excess power to be fed to the grid.
