Construction of utility projects for electricity and telecommunications
What this code covers
Use this class for construction of utility projects for electricity and telecommunications when the main activity includes Construction of civil engineering structures for: and Long-distance and urban communication and power lines. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Official NACE Rev. 2.1 labels and explanatory notes are imported from the source dataset. Plain-language explanations are shown separately so readers can compare interpretation with the source text.
No child codes; this is a class-level code.
- This class includes the construction of distribution lines for electricity and telecommunication and related buildings and structures that are integral part of these systems.
- construction of civil engineering structures for:
- long-distance and urban communication and power lines
- power plants (e.g. solar and wind energy farms)
- construction of electricity overhead lines and conductor rails for railways, see 42.12
- construction of dams and dykes for hydroelectric power plants, see 42.91
- installation of photovoltaic systems on buildings, see 43.21
- electrical installation of accumulator chargers (e.g. for electric vehicles), see 43.21
- Compare with 42.12, 42.91, 43.21 when the main activity overlaps another code.
- Check national equivalent caveats before using this code for local registration or filing workflows.
- If the main revenue activity appears in an exclusion, compare the alternative code before deciding.

What is NACE 42.22 used for?
Use NACE 42.22 for construction of utility projects for electricity and telecommunications when the main activity matches this scope: Use this class for construction of utility projects for electricity and telecommunications when the main activity includes Construction of civil engineering structures for: and Long-distance and urban communication and power lines. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
What are typical examples for 42.22?
Typical examples include Construction of civil engineering structures for:, Long-distance and urban communication and power lines, and Power plants (e.g. solar and wind energy farms).
When might 42.22 not be the right code?
Review another code when the activity is closer to construction of electricity overhead lines and conductor rails for railways, see 42.12 and construction of dams and dykes for hydroelectric power plants, see 42.91.
Which codes should I compare before choosing 42.22?
Compare 42.22 with 42.12 Construction of railways and underground railways, 42.91 Construction of water projects, and 43.21 Electrical installation when the activity description is ambiguous.
Use this class for construction of railways and underground railways when the main activity includes Construction of railways, underground railways and subways and Construction of electricity overhead lines and conductor rails for railways. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this class for construction of water projects when the main activity includes Construction and reconstruction of and Waterways, harbour basins, rivers, marinas. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this class for electrical installation when the main activity includes Installation of: and Electrical wiring and fittings. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this class for engineering activities and related technical consultancy when the main activity includes Engineering design (i.e. applying physical laws and principles of engineering in the design of machines, materials, instruments, structures, processes and systems) and consulting activities for: and Machinery, industrial processes and industrial plant. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.

Low operational impact is expected, but systems should still store the target Rev. 2.1 version explicitly.
Confirm the target version field and update references where Rev. 2.1 is required.
