On 29 December 2023 National Grid and Energinet energised the Viking Link interconnector, initiating the first transfer of electricity between the Bicker Fen converter station in Lincolnshire, UK and the Revsing converter station in southern Jutland, Denmark. The energisation followed completion of converter and cable commissioning (Siemens Energy supplied and commissioned converters; Prysmian supplied and laid the HVDC cable) and enabled the first operational flows along the 765 km HVDC route.
