Glomfjord power plant

Glomfjord power plant

Glomfjord power plant is a 20 MW hydroelectric power plant in Glomfjord, Norway. It gets its water from Nedre Navervatn lake which is located about 465 meters above the sea level, but there are plans to start taking water also from Fykanvatn lake.

The plant is currently owned by Statkraft.

History

The power plant was built in 1918 and was designed by architect Olaf Nordhagen.

In 1942, during the Second World War an Anglo-Norwegian raid, Operation Musketoon attacked against then German-held power plant.
