What it means for suppliers
Suppliers of electrical equipment, cable, metering devices and digital control solutions may find work here. Big programmes like this usually run in stages: design and installation first, equipment and software purchases later. Tenders will appear when the buyer announces them — no dates are public yet.
You can prepare now: sort out your documents for the digital signature (ERI) and the bid deposit, gather proof of similar projects, and check your certificates for electrical equipment. When a tender is announced, read the technical requirements closely — they tend to be strict on work like this.
TenderLabs data shows 637 open lots in the energy sector as of 18 October 2026. That figure covers active procurement across the sector, not this project itself.
