Upon completion of the construction, Linxon will install two switchgears for both 110 kilovolts and 220 kilovolts.

Previously, the company has secured contracts for electrical AC substations for the Skanstull and Barkarby areas as part of upgrading the electrical grid in Stockholm.

Construction work, which will be completed in collaboration with NCC Infrastructure, is planned to commence next year and is estimated to take nearly five years for completion.

NCC Building Sweden business area manager Henrik Landelius said: “We are looking forward to participating in the work to renew and secure the electricity supply in Stockholm.

“A project such as this, which will remain operational throughout the construction period, requires precision in project management and project coordination, which we will ensure through close collaboration with Linxon and Ellevio.”
