In 2009, Greater Gabbard Offshore Winds Ltd (then owned by SSE and RWE) signed a grid connection agreement with National Grid for the Greater Gabbard offshore wind project, including its offshore transmission assets such as the export cables and onshore substation near Leiston/Sizewell. This formalised the connection of the 132 kV HVAC offshore transmission system to the onshore National Grid network and underpinned the subsequent energisation and operation of the Greater Gabbard OFTO infrastructure.
