On 21 November 2016, the Burbo Bank Extension offshore wind farm exported electricity to the UK national grid for the first time, confirming successful energisation of the project’s 258 MW transmission link, including the export cable and associated substation equipment. Developer DONG Energy reported that power from the first installed MHI Vestas 8 MW turbine was being delivered to the grid, demonstrating that both the generation and offshore transmission systems were operating as intended.
