Demand for Eleda’s services is substantial, highly predictable, and fast-growing – they are required to our keep society moving and evolving. Eleda leverages three key trends in its end-markets that promote significant expected sustained growth: Energy Transition, Digitalisation and Urbanisation, and Upgrading of Water and Transportation Infrastructure.
Energy Transition
The rapid electrification of society, with electricity being used more and more to power vehicles and industry, is increasing the load on the electricity grid. However, the current grid infrastructure is also outdated, and digital solutions are required to support more complex flows. Large investments must therefore be made in new construction, remodeling, extension, and renovation over the next few decades.
Eleda plays a key role in enabling this by designing and servicing the network and installing and repairing power stations, cable networks, and overhead lines.
Power distribution
In power distribution, Eleda offers maintenance, upgrading and expansion of electric distribution and transmission infrastructure solutions for power distribution companies and public opera tors in Sweden, Norway and Denmark. Examples of services are construction of overhead cabling, stations and control facilities, service and maintenance of the power grid, digitalisation of electricity networks including measurement, control and optimisation, cable laying, excavation and groundwork, soil restoration, road closures, pipe splicing, electric installations, testing and validation. Customers are large electricity network operators and public and private energy companies.
Renewable energy
In the renewable energy sector, Eleda provides maintenance and upgrading solutions for wind and hydropower plants in the end market for renewable energy in Sweden, Norway and Denmark. Services include grid connections for power companies, servicing hydropower plants, planning and design, groundwork and electric installations for solar and wind power, as well as service and maintenance of wind farms and hydropower plants. Customers are largely the same as for power distribution.
District heating
In district heating, Eleda offers maintenance and new installation services for district heating in Sweden. Examples of services are pipe laying, excavation and groundwork, soil restoration, road closures, pipe splicing, and temporary installations. Customers may include municipalities, for instance.
Digitalization & Urbanization
Eleda serves a wide range of clients in markets such as healthcare, logistics, education, and IT/AI, each with rapidly changing conditions driven by digitalization and urbanization trends. One of the key growth drivers is the need for data centers due to increased data demand, AI usage, and cloud adoption. Hyperscalers – companies that offer hyperscale computing in the cloud – are choosing the Nordic region for expansion due to access to green power, stable market conditions, reliability, and the cool climate.
We are only in the very early stages of expansion, which is expected to continue for many years to come.
Data centres
Eleda provides among other things groundwork, fibre and electrical infrastructure services for data centres in the Nordics. Services include design, groundwork, foundation reinforcement, pickling and woodwork, water and sewerage redistribution, steel and electrical installations, and soil restoration.
Groundwork for other constructions
Eleda also provides groundwork for corporate clients in Sweden and Norway. Services include groundwork in conjunction with the construction of schools, education and health care facilities, industrial and warehouse buildings, offices, business and logistics centres, as well as hotels, restaurants and other public or social infrastructure projects. Additional activities include design and planning, foundation reinforcement, woodwork, water and sewerage system redistribution, steel and electrical installations, civil engineering works and soil restoration. One example of a customer is the City of Stockholm.
Upgrading of Water & Transportation Infrastructure
The transportation system requires both expansion and upgrade, especially in sustainable networks such as rail, to reduce society’s fossil fuel consumption. Eleda is working closely with municipalities and national agencies to enable the transition to a greener transport system.
Similarly, Nordic water infrastructure is significantly underinvested and not fit for purpose in an environment with increasingly extreme weather conditions and stricter requirements on safety and water quality.
Rail
In rail, Eleda performs maintenance and upgrades of the railway infrastructure in Sweden and Norway. Services include, for example, groundwork, foundation reinforcement, asphalt ing, concrete works, water and sewerage redistribution, soil restoration, overhead cabling, track works, signalling and telecommunication works, as well as detailed design and project management. Customers include the Norwegian Railway Directorate, InfraNord and Gothenburg Municipality.
Road
In road, Eleda offers road reconstruction, soil restoration, bridge and tunnel maintenance, repair and construction of roads in Sweden and Norway. Services include, for example, groundwork for road contractors, foundation reinforcement, asphalting, concrete works, water and sewerage redistribution, soil restoration, detailed design and project management. Examples of customers are the Swedish Transport Administration and the Norwegian Public Roads Administration.
Water and sewerage
In water and sewerage, Eleda offers pipe laying, and repairs and upgrades of the water infrastructure in Sweden and Norway. Examples of work performed are pipe laying, excavation and back filling work, soil restoration, road closures, pipe splicing, and temporary installations. Typical customers for this type of project are municipalities.
