“Building critical infrastructure is an assignment we are more than happy to undertake, and we greatly appreciate the opportunity to contribute to a safe, modern and reliable power supply for Trondheim for decades to come. The construction works will be carried out in close collaboration with Tensio, with a strong focus on safe operations and minimising impact on the surrounding environment,” says director Torgeir Loholt Wiig of Veidekke Bygg Trøndelag.
Tensio is responsible for owning, operating and developing the power grid in large parts of Trøndelag. The new transformer substation in Klæbu will help strengthen the power supply in the region and facilitate further development and increased grid capacity. The project is part of a broader initiative to modernise and expand the power grid and places high demands on execution capacity, health, safety and environment (HSE), as well as technical quality.
“We are in a period where we are investing more than ever in the power supply infrastructure in Trøndelag. This is necessary to ensure a reliable supply of electricity and to facilitate increased capacity to support desired local and regional community development. In this work, we depend on strong and reliable suppliers, and we are very satisfied with the cooperation with our regional partner, Veidekke Bygg Trøndelag. This is the fourth substation building project we are carrying out together,” says Audhild Kvam, CEO of Tensio.
Construction works will commence shortly after the summer, with planned completion in June 2028. The contract was included in Veidekke’s order backlog in the first quarter of 2026.
