View all articles by Oil and Gas AuthorNorway has also looked towards wind power as a way to supplement hydroelectric capacity. Havgul, a consortium of Norwegian energy companies, has proposed building a 1,795-MW, offshore wind farm in More & Romsdal, western Norway. The project would consist of four wind parks and would be one of the largest such projects in the world. However, Norways Water Resources & Energy Directorate told the company in April 2005 to cancel one of the planned parks, representing 395 MW of capacity, due to opposition from local municipalities. Norway has transmission lines that connect its power grid to Sweden, Finland, Russia, and Denmark. The Norway-Sweden line is the largest, with a capacity of 2,800 MW. There are plans to connect Norways grid beyond the immediate Nordic vicinity. In 2004, Statnett and Dutch transmission company TenneT applied for regulatory approval for the 600-MW NorNed line, which could connect Norway with the Netherlands. Statnett has proposed building a connector to the United Kingdom along with UK grid Operator NGT, which would be the longest subsea electric cable in the world. However, the Norwegian government cancelled plans for the line in 2003, stating that the plan was not economical.
