Trial operation of North Sea Link began on 1 October 2021 (from 09:00 CET), during which the asset transferred electricity between Norway and Great Britain while operators validated market and operational processes in close‑to‑normal conditions. The three‑month trial allowed gradual capacity increases and provided data to confirm operational performance, market integration and system security prior to sustained commercial use.
