STOCKHOLM, Oct. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Ellevio AB (publ) has signed a SEK 1 billion loan agreement with the Nordic Investment Bank (NIB) to co-finance the modernisation and expansion of the Beckomberga substation in Stockholm's regional electricity network. The project will significantly strengthen the grid's ability to meet growing electricity demand in the Stockholm region while contributing to a more reliable and resilient electricity system.

The Beckomberga substation, which currently supplies electricity to approximately 120,000 customers, has reached the end of its technical lifespan. It will now be modernised and expanded, including through a strengthened connection to the national transmission grid.

NIB offers long-term financing that strengthens competitiveness, sustainability and resilience of the Nordic-Baltic region. The bank has previously provided financing to Ellevio for the reconstruction of the substations in Skanstull and Värtan, as well as for the refurbishment and replacement of approximately 5,000 kilometres of power lines, primarily with underground cables.

- We are pleased to continue our partnership with NIB through the financing of this strategically important project. Long-term financing is essential for enabling the large-scale investments required to renew and expand the electricity network, supporting both electrification and sustainable growth in the Stockholm region, says Johan Lindehag, CEO of Ellevio.

Eva Nickull, Senior Banker at NIB, commented:

- NIB's financing strengthens the reliability and security of electricity supply in western Stockholm and contributes to meeting growing electricity demand in the region.
