Pöyry signs new frame agreement with Svenska kraftnät

Svenska kraftnät, the Swedish National Grid, have signed a new frame agreement with Pöyry, covering technical consultancy services. There is no call off amount guarantee, but according to Svenska kraftnät SEK 500 million (EUR 50 million) will be purchased annually through this frame agreement, allocated to 21 consultancy suppliers. Out of these 21 suppliers, Pöyry is one of the few companies that qualified for all 4 packages: construction and project management; EHSQ; land and permits; and other areas of expertise in power transmission and distribution.

The agreement is valid for three years, from 2016 to 2018, with Svenska kraftnät having the option of two one-year extensions (for 2019 and 2020).
