The order value, which will be registered within NCC's Infrastructure business area, is approximately SEK 1 billion. The project is scheduled for completion in the first half of 2029.
The agreement underscores NCC's capabilities in large-scale energy infrastructure projects. The company highlights its in-depth expertise and experience in managing complex construction undertakings, which supports the implementation of future sub-projects.
