NCC secures power plant order worth SEK 300 million

NCC Construction Sweden has been commissioned to construct a power plant
in Hissmofors, 20 km northwest of Östersund. The client is the municipal
electricity company Jämtkraft. The assignment will be registered among
orders during the first quarter of 2011. The order is worth
approximately SEK 300 million.

Work on the project will commence on March 1, 2011 and the Hissmofors VI
power plant is scheduled for completion on October 31, 2013. The
existing power plant is to be demolished and a new one built.

“Since it is not every day that new power plants are constructed, it is
gratifying that we are a company that possesses the necessary
competence,” says Richard Mattsson, Business Manager at NCC Construction
Sweden, Norrland Region.

“The hydroelectric power plant in Hissmofors is the base for Jämtkraft's
current production and it is essential that it functions well and is in
good condition, both today and in the future. Now that it is to be
modernized, we feel secure in the knowledge that we will be cooperating
with NCC, a competent and reliable partner,” says Tommy Borgh,
responsible for electricity production at Jämtkraft.

Jämtkraft has asked NCC to produce a climate declaration showing the
amount of carbon dioxide and greenhouse gases that the project will
emit. NCC will also set up what it calls a “green establishment,” which
includes the use of portable cabins with better insulation and reviewing
electricity consumption.

“Jämtkraft is constructing a sixth-generation power plant in Hissmofors,
which will ensure sustainable development and renewable production for
many decades ahead,” says Tommy Borgh.

It is estimated that about 50 people will be employed in the project.
