01What is being requested

TenneT TSO is launching a digital qualification system via Mercell to establish a list of suitable contractors for the installation of high-voltage lines and the construction of towers. The assignment includes both the upgrade of approximately 600 km of existing high-voltage lines and the construction of 400 km of new lines between 2026 and 2035, representing a total demand of approximately 1,000 km. The focus lies on line stringing and tower erection, with an emphasis on safety, quality, and compliance with EU and national regulations. Contractors must demonstrate experience with large-scale infrastructure projects, possess the appropriate technical and organizational capacity, and be capable of delivering within the specified timelines. The procedure is fully digital, ensuring transparency and efficiency.

TenneT faces a major task in the coming years. In addition to a substantial number of upgrades to existing high-voltage overhead lines (around 600 km between 2026-2035), a substantial number of new high-voltage overhead lines is planned to be build (around 400 km between 2026-2035). This possibly leads to a total demand of 1000 km till 2035, which means a tripling (x3) of the current demand.
