DONG in Denmark has chosen Eltel as one of its long-term partners for power distribution

DONG Energy has chosen Eltel - together with the exclusive partner, the civil works contractor Nordkysten (NK) - as one of the two area operators for services on DONG Energy El Distribution including maintenance and build works in the range 0,4-50 kV. DONG Energy has explicitly requested suppliers to partner in constellations ensuring full capacity to deliver on all types of operation and maintenance tasks tendered.

The tendering round has now been completed and during the next five years DONG EL expects to enter into frame agreements in total value of approximately DKK 755 million with the selected three contractor constellations. The final contracts are expected to be signed during May.

Axel Hjärne, CEO of Eltel Group, comments:
We are very happy at Eltel to have won the confidence of DONG to become one of their strategic partners for the future. Eltel has systematically built a stable platform of Infranet services in Denmark and we have worked with DONG also earlier. To step up in the power distribution business in Denmark has been a strategic ambition for Eltel.

Anders Vikkelsø, Vice President DONG says:
We have had a strong desire to compile our supplier agreements and establish long lasting strategic partnerships with a few very qualified and motivated partners. I am delighted that we have now achieved this milestone in the fulfillment of this supplier strategy.
