London, 08 August, 2023, (Oilandgaspress) – The Norwegian government has approved the Snøhvit partners’ plans for the future operation of Snøhvit and Hammerfest LNG, subject to certain conditions. The approval entails onshore compression from 2028, and electrification of the plant from 2030

The approval of Snøhvit Future ensures continued operation on Melkøya. Today, 350 permanent employees and 150 contractors and apprentices work at the plant, and the ripple effects in Northern Norway have been documented by Bodø Science Park at almost 900 person-years of employment.

The Snøhvit Future project triggers an increased need for power and a strengthened grid. Today, the government has also approved Statnett’s licence application for a power cable (420 kV) between Skaidi and Hyggevatn, and Equinor’s licence application for a power cable (132 kV) between Hyggevatn and Melkøya.
