    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Oil giant Equinor is behind the project, but renewables still make up only a tiny fraction of its total energy production.

    Fossil fuel giant Equinor is behind the huge Hywind Tampern farm which, with 88 megawatts (MW) of capacity, will generate energy to supply nearby oil and gas platforms.

    Though it will help cut emissions from the oil and gas fields, climate campaigners argue it’s time to stop drilling for fossil fuels altogether.

    The energy produced will cover around 35 per cent of that needed to power five offshore oil and gas platforms in the North Sea.

    The electrification of offshore and onshore installations is essential if Norway is to reach its national climate goals under the Paris agreement, Greenpeace points out.

    Big Oil’s unwillingness to implement real change is a crime against the climate and future generations", says Greenpeace CEE campaigner Kuba Gogolewski.
