Kvænangsbotn Hydroelectric Power Station

The Kvænangsbotn Hydroelectric Power Station (Kvænangsbotn kraftverk) is a hydroelectric power station in Kvænangen Municipality in Troms county, Norway. It utilizes a drop of 305 m between its intake reservoir at Little Lakes (Småvatnan, Pikkujärvet, Čorrojávrrit) and South Fjord (Sørfjorden, Sutuvuono, Suvdovuotna). The reservoir is regulated at a level between 315 m and 305 m. The Abo River (Aboelva, Aapujoki, Ábojohka) is also utilized by the power plant. Water is supplied to the reservoir by the Småvatna, Lassajavre, and Cårrujavrit Hydroelectric Power Stations. The plant came into operation in 1965. In 1999 the company received a license to transfer water from the Brenn River (Buollánjohka), Šleađui River (Šleađuidjohka), and Olbmá River (Olbmájohka). The plant has a Francis turbine and operates at an installed capacity of 44 MW, with an average annual production of about 176 GWh. The plant is controlled by Kvænangen Kraftverk AS, with a 48.2% share owned by Troms Kraft.
