NKT has been awarded another turnkey contract by Swedish electricity network company Ellevio, for the upgradation of the electric grid in the district of Stadshagen in the Stockholm area. The project is the first one under the four-year frame agreement that NKT signed with Ellevio late last year to reinforce and expand the power grid in central Sweden. The project in Stadshagen will reinforce the grid by replacing three legacy cable connections. As per the turnkey contract NKT will deliver the design, installation including joints and terminations as well as cables for three 110 kV AC onshore connections in a tunnel and a shaft. The cables for the project have been produced by NKT at its factory in Falun, Sweden.
