On 14 November 2025, OM online reports that TenneT has put a partial section of the 380 kV line from Conneforde to the new Garrel/Ost substation into operation. The article notes that with this partial in-service, power from the BorWin5 offshore grid connection can be fed into the grid via Garrel/Ost. This indicates that the BorWin5 onshore converter station and its grid connection at Garrel/Ost had been commissioned and were operational by that date, ahead of full commercial operation later in 2025.
