Equinor's Arctic Hammerfest LNG plant restarts after power outage
6/25/2024
Equinor's Arctic Hammerfest LNG plant has resumed operation as planned following a weekend power outage that halted production, a spokesperson for the Norwegian energy company said on Tuesday.
The plant's own power generators had been undergoing maintenance when its backup supply from an external grid failed, resulting in the outage.
Hammerfest LNG, also known as Melkoeya, has capacity of about 6.5 Bm3y of gas. That is enough to supply about 6.5 MM European homes and accounts for roughly 5% of all Norwegian gas exports.
