The project includes the construction of new series compensation stations, including associated control buildings, storage, and backup power facilities. Kanonaden is also responsible for construction management, earthworks, site security, foundation work for buildings and high-voltage installations, as well as the installation and assembly of high-voltage equipment. The power quality solution for the project is designed and supplied by Hitachi Energy.

Svenska kraftnät has an option to order an additional three series compensation stations. The option is valued at approximately MSEK 400 excluding VAT.

The new series compensation stations will accelerate the energy transition and enable improved transmission capacity for Sweden’s electricity grid. Series compensation provides increased power supply, lower risk of downtime and less environmental impact.

“We are proud to contribute to strengthening Sweden’s power grid and to continue our collaboration with Svenska Kraftnät and Hitachi Energy,” says Amund Tøftum, CEO of AF Gruppen.
