Public contracts
Who in the industry wins public contracts
We find no public contracts awarded to companies in distribution of electricity since 2022. Public procurement appears to play little or no role in this industry.
Contracts come from Doffin and TED. Our collection is not complete, and TED covers only contracts above the EEA threshold, so the figures are a floor and not a full count. We say what we find, not what exists.
