Galloper exported electricity to the onshore grid for the first time on 5 November 2017, when the Galloper Offshore Wind Farm generated power following completion of key transmission infrastructure from the onshore grid connection in Suffolk to the offshore site 30 km off the coast. This milestone followed installation of the first export cable in 2016, completion of the offshore substation in early May 2017, and installation of the second export cable, enabling initial power flow through the Galloper offshore transmission system.
