The scope of the project is a very complex reconstruction of the 130 kV plant at the transformer station TS 220/130/70/20 kV Finnslatten in Västerås, near the Swedish capital of Stockholm.
This contract is the result of three years of focused performance and sales activities of KET in the Swedish market through market analysis and complex pre-qualification procedures with key customers, while serious bidding commenced late last year.
