Hojum Power Station (alt. "Håjum Power Station") is the second
hydroelectric power station inTrollhättan , the first one being the olderOlidan Power Station . While the first two turbines were taken into service in1938 , a third one was built and started in1992 . The first two are rated at 50 MW, while the third is rated at 70 MW.The station is mainly located underground in a large mountain hall. This design was chosen because of the political instability in
Europe at the time, which later led to the second world war. The relatively small building above ground was drawn by the Swedisharchitect Erik Hahr.
