Forså Hydroelectric Power Station

The Forså Hydroelectric Power Station (Forså kraftverk or Forså kraftstasjon) is a hydroelectric power station in the municipality of Gildeskål in Nordland county, Norway. Part of the plant's catchment area also lies in the municipality of Beiarn.

The plant utilizes a drop of 266 m between two lakes: Litle Sokumvatnet (also Lille Sokumvann, Såhkamjávrásj ), which is linked to Namnlausvatnet and is regulated between an elevation of 645 m and 637 m, and Øvre Nævervatnet (Båssjukjávrre), which is regulated between an elevation of 604 m and 580 m.

The plant has one turbine with an installed capacity of 12 MW and an average annual production of about 48 GWh. Its catchment area is 25.5 km2. The plant was originally built by Norsk Hydro to supply industry at Glomfjord and is now owned by Salten Kraftsamband. It came into operation in 1963. The water that leaves the plant is later reused by the Sundsfjord Hydroelectric Power Station.
