Energoproekt is active in the hydropower sector and also offers qualified consultation services within water and environment.

After the acquisition, Sweco will have approximately 1,100 consultants in Lithuania, Estonia, Russia, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic. Three years ago, Sweco had approximately 100 employees in central and eastern Europe.

Per Johansson, managing director of Sweco for central and eastern Europe, said: Through the acquisition we are strengthening our position in a market that is having strong growth. We are also creating conditions for continued growth in Bulgaria and in neighbouring Balkan countries.
