It would be impossible to operate one of the world’s most reliable extra-high-voltage grids without reliable and innovative suppliers. That is why our specialists in market-based procurement pay particular attention to quality, reliability and economy. They produce reports and analyses of the goods and services procured and take an active part in development projects.
In my interface function, I see it as my task to reconcile all the needs and requirements that make up a procurement project.
