On 10 October 2023, the first phase of Dogger Bank Wind Farm began exporting electricity to the UK national grid, following installation of the first GE Vernova Haliade-X 13 MW turbine. Power was transmitted via the HVDC transmission system — the first use of HVDC technology to connect a British wind farm to National Grid — including the world's first unmanned offshore HVDC converter platform and Hitachi Energy's HVDC Light system, through approximately 175 km of subsea and 30 km of onshore 320 kV DC export cable to the Creyke Beck converter station.
