TenneT has connected the 402MW Veja Mate wind farm in the German North Sea to the BorWin 2 grid connection hub.
Cable tests between the wind farm and the offshore platform that has been in operation since January 2015 were completed in mid-November, the transmission system operator said.
The connection between Veja Mate and BorWin 2 is via a pair of 155kV cables that measure 11.4km.
Foundation installation at the project was completed in October. It will feature 67 Siemens 6MW turbines.
Veja Mate is owned by Highland Group, Siemens Financial Services and Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners. Full operation at the €1.9bn project is planned for end 2017.
