Skanska has landed a construction contract worth about SEK 1.9 billion, adding to second-quarter order intake in Sweden. It is another sign that big-ticket project demand is still feeding the Nordic construction pipeline.

Latvia’s Utilitas Wind finished expanding its battery energy storage system at Tārgale to 40 MWh, creating what the source describes as the country’s largest hybrid installation. The move strengthens grid flexibility and improves the commercial value of wind generation.

Malta International Airport has lined up €100 million in external financing as part of a broader €345 million investment programme. The money supports terminal expansion, operational resilience and related airport development through 2028.

Gren, which operates in Estonia as well as elsewhere in the region, has secured €1.15 billion to fund expansion in district-energy and related infrastructure. The financing underlines investor appetite for long-life utility assets tied to the region’s energy transition.

Lithuania has brought a major new rapeseed-processing facility online in Klaipėda, expanding domestic agro-processing and biodiesel-linked industrial capacity. The plant is large enough to process roughly half of Lithuania’s rapeseed harvest each year.

Spain’s SETT has closed a €752 million investment with Diamond Foundry, backing synthetic-diamond semiconductor production in Zaragoza and Trujillo. The total programme runs to €2.35 billion through 2029 and is meant to strengthen Spain’s microelectronics capacity and create hundreds of jobs.
