As baseload power plants get replaced by wind and solar, the network loses the natural inertia that maintains stable frequency. Renewable energy is intermittent; it increases when conditions are good and decreases when they aren't. This creates mismatches between supply and demand, which can destabilize the system, waste clean energy, or cause prices to drop below zero.
Read moreUmeå is growing more rapidly than most cities in northern Sweden. But much of the region’s existing infrastructure was built for consumption patterns that no longer exist, leaving the grid under pressure.
Read moreDemand for reliable electricity infrastructure is rising in northern Sweden as energy-intensive industries, including mining, continue to expand. A stable and powerful power supply is crucial for the reopening and development of the Viscaria Mine in Kiruna.
Read moreOn September 24, Omexom and E.ON marked a milestone in sustainable energy infrastructure with the groundbreaking of Sweden’s first transformer station primarily constructed from wood, located in Karlshammar in Mönsterås municipality.
Read moreThe Omexom business unit in Sundsvall has secured three new contracts with a total order amount of €70 million. Building on long-standing partnerships with clients Svenska kraftnät and Sundsvall Elnät AB, the projects include the reconstruction and new construction of Odensala which is the largest air-insulated switchgear in Sweden so far.
Read more‘Groundbreaking’ takes on a new meaning at an underground distribution site for Omexom in Sweden: the business unit and its project partners have inherently redesigned the project to adopt a comprehensive environmental approach.
Read moreOmexom in Sweden was awarded a new contract by Storstockholms Lokaltrafik - the public transport authority for the Stockholm region - to operate and maintain the high-voltage substations that supply the Stockholm metro and the cities of Tvärbanan, Nockebybanan, Lidingöbanan, Saltsjöbanan, Roslagsbanan and Spårväg. With this new assignment, Omexom continues to ensure the power supply to SL's rail traffic.
Read moreOmexom continues to secure the electricity supply in Sweden with six new contracts.
Read moreWith good effect, Omexom finished the delivery of rectifier substations for the Lund tramway in Sweden. To meet the challenges in the project, for example busy roads, footpaths or cycle paths, and avoid disturbing Lund citizens, Omexom had to work on a new solution to carry out the project. Traditional construction would have involved extensive work with deliveries of building materials and electrical equipment that would have traveled through the streets. The delivered materials would have covered areas of the road where the substations would be located. This traffic would also have interfered with other simultaneous works.
Read moreUmeå's growth, located in the north-east of Sweden, results in strong demands on a sustainable and reliable power grid. To address this need, the grid owner, Umea Energi Elnat AB, meets this with the project "Spänningshöjning", a comprehensive upgrade of the power network in the region during the period 2015 to 2024.
Read moreOmexom teams are building a new 400 kV substation, Tovåsen, which will be built 25 km south Ånge in Gävleborg County in Sweden.
