Multiconsult has been selected as an advisor to Aker BP for civil engineering, consultancy and supervision services in the Yggdrasil power from shore project. Multiconsult will be responsible for carrying out all the required onshore civil engineering tasks for the power from shore system. In addition, Multiconsult will deliver consultancy and supervision services related to the preparation and follow up of the power licence, such as environmental assessments, dialogue with authorities, necessary application and site work.

The concept includes a new transformer station at Bordalen in Samnanger, a new 11-kilometre powerline in Samnanger, a compensation station at Arskog in Fitjar and a 255-kilometre sea cable from Samnanger to the Yggdrasil area in the North Sea. Aker BP is the operator of the Yggdrasil Area, while Equinor and PGNiG Upstream Norway are license partners. The three entities are collaborating to develop the area with low impact on the environment, aiming for a minimal carbon footprint.

To this end, implementing a power from shore solution for the Yggdrasil areas holds significant importance. The contract awarded to Multiconsult Norge AS has an estimated value of NOK 400 million. The work will last until the end of 2027.
