How should one proceed here?
Of course, the sink must be removed before I can completely saw out the piece. It continues in a bit there.

Sturdy studs to attach the new board to.
At the bottom, there's a crack in the drywall. It's roughly behind the stove.

Either remove the drywall down to the floor. But then I have the wall box for the stove, which I don't know how it works. I'm a bit afraid of electricity if it's exposed.

Alternatively, just saw out the part where the tile is damaged and a little bit down. Attach a new drywall panel that I cut to size and install. Screw it to the studs with drywall screws.

The lower part toward the floor should be repaired and fitted with a suitable drywall strip or house fix or something else.
I'm thinking of trying to reduce the craftsmanship costs
Otherwise, they will do it, of course.

Damaged kitchen wall with white tiles, exposed drywall showing breakage and cracks. Visible jagged edges and repair tools needed for renovation. Damaged kitchen wall with exposed plaster, missing tiles, and visible power outlet. Discussion about repairs and cost-saving measures mentioned. Wall with exposed wooden studs and damaged drywall, showing a pipe behind. There's a crack at the bottom and sections of plaster missing. Damaged drywall with several cracks and holes, partially detached near the bottom. Visible pipe runs horizontally along the wall base. Damaged kitchen wall with missing tiles and cracked plaster revealing inner structure; adjacent tiles intact, lower wall has minor damage and electrical casing.
 
What is that strange stove connection? Is the electricity routed to the box in a plastic conduit against the wall?
 
That there are some cracks at the bottom doesn't matter, you can leave it as it is.
Saw off the broken gypsum and screw on a new one, easy-peasy!

The stove connection is a 1-phase 25A. It's usually a fixed connection on 1-phase, but there are ones with plugs as well.

Ok, so I don't need to touch the wall with the stove connection. Good to hear

Yes, the electricity to the contact runs in the plastic pipe that goes along the wall and then continues out through a hole towards the hall. It seems to run throughout the apartment. Old installation from, I don't know when. The electricity should certainly be rewired in the apartment, but it costs mucho. I think they suggested something during the pipe replacement of about 30,000 SEK.
