Energy infrastructure: Design and consulting of critical energy networks

Energy infrastructure includes energy networks that are critical to society, such as power lines and gas pipelines. A well-functioning energy infrastructure enables the energy transition towards a more sustainable and low-carbon energy system. Energy networks are needed for regional energy solutions, the hydrogen industry and the transmission of renewable energy from production areas to users.

Our international network of experts serves electricity network companies, the hydrogen industry and renewable energy development companies, as well as municipalities, cities and other public entities on land and at sea.

Energy infrastructure planning, consulting and construction

Sweco is one of the leading electricity network design and consulting companies in the Nordic countries. Our long experience in infrastructure and industrial design as well as environmental sustainability and project management in energy production  makes us a strong partner in the design, consulting and construction of modern energy infrastructure.

Design and construction of electricity networks

We offer comprehensive engineering and consulting services for route electrical planning of electricity transmission lines and distribution networks (0.4–400 kV), overhead and underground cables and substations. Our energy network experts also master the design of submarine cables and wire transmissions.

Our early-stage services include profitability calculations for production, storage and distribution investments in electricity networks, business strategies and electricity network regulation models. We will also help you with the permit processes of the project. We can carry out, for example, nature surveys, environmental impact assessments (EIA) and field surveys.

If necessary, we are also responsible for project management and construction services..

Expert in hydrogen pipelines and gas networks

Sweco is a forerunner in the design of hydrogen plants and hydrogen pipelines in Finland. We also have long experience in designing other types of gas pipelines, such as natural gas and biogas pipelines. We can support you already in the early stages of the project in feasibility, feasibility and material studies as well as in the environmental impact assessment (EIA)

If necessary, our experts are responsible for project management and construction services.
