Electromontaj announces the signing of a 10-year partnership with Tennet BV, the electricity transmission operator in the Netherlands. The collaboration, which also involves three other international companies, will focus on the construction of 400 km of high-voltage lines and the modernization of 600 km of existing lines. The total value of this project amounts to 1.75 billion euros.
This strategic agreement is part of TenneT’s efforts to modernize the energy infrastructure of the Netherlands, with the aim of increasing the capacity of the electricity grid by at least 30%. Approximately 600 kilometers will be part of this project over the next 10 years. During the same period, TenneT foresees the construction of approximately 400 kilometers of new high-voltage lines. This means a tripling of the current volume of works.
“We face a huge challenge in the transition to a sustainable and resilient high-voltage grid. Through close and long-term cooperation with these partners, we not only build robust and reliable high-voltage grids, but also contribute to the safety, innovation and efficiency of their implementation,” said Maarten Abbenhuis, COO TenneT.
“This contract is a validation of the work and professionalism demonstrated by Electromontaj in the projects carried out in the Netherlands in recent years. We are honored by the trust placed in us and remain dedicated to our mission of contributing to building a sustainable energy infrastructure,” added Ionuț Tănăsoaica, CEO Electromontaj.
Since the beginning of the collaboration with TenneT in 2021, Electromontaj has already carried out 4 high-voltage line modernization projects in the Netherlands, won through tenders, namely: the 380 kV Diemen – Lelystad Overhead Power Line (OPL), the 380 kV Krimpen aan den Ijssel – Geertruidenberg Overhead Power Line (OPL), the 380 kV Ens-Zwolle Overhead Power Line and the 380 kV Maasbracht – Eindhoven Overhead Power Line, the last of which is still ongoing.
The first project, part of this partnership, will be the construction of a new 380 kV high-voltage line between Rilland and Tilburg, which involves the installation of over 200 high-voltage poles and the laying of over 2,000 km of conductors.
Together with TenneT and the other project partners, SELT & Volker Energy Solutions, Spie Nederland and Omexom GA Energo, Electromontaj has committed to complying with the Clean and Zero Emissions Construction Convention. The projects will be executed with minimal impact on the environment, right from the first stages.
Currently, Electromontaj has over 200 construction and modernization projects in Romania for high-voltage power lines, hydroelectric power plants, wind and photovoltaic parks, transformer stations, urban transport, electrical installations for hydropower developments and irrigation developments. Outside the country, Electromontaj is carrying out construction and modernization projects for high-voltage power lines and transformer stations in Finland, the Republic of Moldova, Cyprus, Jordan and Poland.
