France’s Nexans has completed a deep-fjord 420 kV subsea cable project for Norway’s transmission system operator (TSO) Statnett, set to strengthen the regional transmission grid serving Bergen and nearby industrial areas.
Nexans secured the project in 2022 for the engineering, manufacturing and installation of two high-voltage 420 kV HVAC subsea cables, each incorporating fiber-optic elements and bundled cables to support monitoring and communications, spanning some 7.8 kilometers across the Fensfjord.
