Preface

On assignment from the Ministry of Petroleum and Energy, the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate has updated the report entitled “Power from shore to the Norwegian shelf” from 2008.

The update has been prepared in cooperation with the Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate (NVE), the Petroleum Safety Authority and the Norwegian Environment Agency, and has resulted in the report entitled “Power from shore to the Norwegian shelf 2020”, which is a joint product from the four agencies.

Each agency has contributed within its areas of responsibility. The Norwegian Petroleum Directorate coordinated the work and compiled the report.
