Source Intelligence
The round aims to fund additional scope related to insourcing of certain infrastructure, cover higher project costs, secure a prudent financial buffer and offset state grants that were not fulfilled despite approval from the EU Commission. The necessary additional scope includes the insourcing of railway investments, and investments in port infrastructure. These mission critical assets were initially intended to be funded by external parties, but are now being designed, built and owned by Stegra, which also enables greater control over the project plan. The round will also fund additional necessary groundwork, and offset generally inflated costs for materials, construction and installation.
