On 8 September 2014, DONG Energy (now Orsted) announced that electricity had been generated for the first time at the Westermost Rough offshore wind farm. The transmission assets were energised in early August 2014, and power from the first of 35 Siemens 6 MW turbines was exported to the national grid via the offshore substation, subsea export cable and onshore substation connecting to National Grid at Hedon near Hull.
