Procurement of four strategic business packages for overhead line contracts totaling SEK 36 billion

Svenska kraftnät will initiate a procurement process in 2025 for four strategic business packages for 400 kV overhead power line contracts. The total value of the business packages amounts to 36 billion SEK. For these contracts, the new business model of strategic partnering will be applied.

Strategic partnering means that qualified suppliers are entrusted to enter into partnerships with Svenska kraftnät to carry out several overhead power line projects in partnering contracts. The contracts are divided into two phases: a planning and design phase and an execution phase. Each contract is executed as separate project agreements.
