Axess Group has signed a frame agreement with Lede (formerly known as Skagerak Nett), a Norwegian electricity grid owner, to provide inspection services for equipment at its power grids in Norway.

The long-term agreement will see Axess conduct EOC inspection of lifting equipment, inspection of fall arrest and personal protection equipment, as well as inspection of lifesaving and electrical testing equipment.

Lede is one of Norway’s largest power grid owners. The company distributes electricity to over 207,000 customers in Vestfold, Telemark and Svelvik. They are responsible for maintaining a reliable and effective distribution grid that is a critical part of Norway’s infrastructure.

Knut Stefanussen, CCO in Axess Group, said, “We are grateful to have been trusted by Lede to assist in their important role in our community. The award is a testament to our competence and ability to meet quality standards. This contract is aligned with our strategic initiatives towards renewables and energy companies, and we look forward to working with Lede.”
