Laje AS, part of ININ Power, has signed a contract with OX2 Construction AB for the construction of a new 36 kV power line in Sweden. The contract is worth approximately 60 MSEK and strengthens ININ Power's position in energy infrastructure in the Swedish market.

ININ Power also sees a positive development in project margins in the overall order portfolio. The development supports the company's assessment of a growing market, driven by increasing investments in power grids, electrification and new regional grid capacity.

It strengthens our position in power line and grid development and contributes to a solid order backlog for the coming quarters. We are also satisfied with the positive development in project margins, which reflects good project selection, improved execution and a market with increasing demand," says Anders Granshagen, CEO of Qben Infra AB.

The work will be carried out with an emphasis on safe and efficient progress, high quality and good resource utilization. The project is scheduled for completion during the second quarter of 2027.
Strategic significance The contract represents a significant assignment within regional power infrastructure in Sweden. For Laje, the project is an important part of the company's continued focus on power line and grid development projects in the Nordic market.
Through the contract with OX2, Laje strengthens its position as a contractor within the construction of power lines and other energy infrastructure. The project also contributes to further developing the company's expertise and capacity within larger network expansion projects.
