Moray Offshore Windfarm (East) Ltd announced that the Moray East project exported its first electricity to the UK National Grid via the new onshore substation south of New Deer in Aberdeenshire on 5 June 2021, marking initial power flow on the offshore transmission link while the wind farm and associated infrastructure were still under construction. Project planning and the transmission system design enabled this first generation to start before all turbines had been installed.
