The notice description identifies 10 kV IT-grid constraints, a short-circuit withstand requirement of 28 kA for one second, and ability to participate in frequency containment reserves. It says the procurement depends on an approved investment decision. The official Hilma page returned a shell without the assigned reference or title. The preliminary schedule in the source includes 2026 milestones that predate the record’s 8 October 2026 publication, while its deadline is 8 April 2027.

It is initially estimated that the electrode boiler plant will produce district heating with an output of approx. 40 MW. The procurement will cover also any relevant equipment, systems and procurements needed for fully functional and operational electrode boiler. Candidates should also note that, if higher quality water treatment system is needed by the electrode boiler, this water treatment system, including make-up water tank, pumps and all other necessary equipment to produce make-up water for the boiler is included in the scope of the Supplier . Any party participating in the procurement must note that the KSS 's electricity grid is subject to the following constraints: Supply voltage 10 kV IT, no neutral point available. The electrode boiler must withstand, at minimum, a short circuit current of 28 kA for 1 second (Ith).
