Equinor’s Hywind Scotland export cable and associated grid connection to the SSE Peterhead Grange substation entered commercial operation in October 2017, when the five‑turbine, 30 MW Hywind Scotland Pilot Park was opened. The project’s single 33 kV AC export cable, linking the offshore floating wind farm at Buchan Deep to shore and into the local distribution network at Peterhead Grange, thus began continuous commercial transmission service as part of the fully operational wind farm.
