The Kvænangsbotn Hydroelectric Power Station ( Norwegian: Kvænangsbotn kraftverk) is a hydroelectric power station in Kvænangen Municipality in Troms county, Norway. It utilizes a drop of 305 meters (1,001 ft) between its intake reservoir at Little Lakes ( Norwegian: Småvatnan, Kven: Pikkujärvet, Northern Sami: Čorrojávrrit) [1] and South Fjord ( Norwegian: Sørfjorden, Kven: Sutuvuono, Northern Sami: Suvdovuotna). [2] The reservoir is regulated at a level between 315 m (1,033 ft) and 305 m (1,001 ft). The Abo River ( Norwegian: Aboelva, Kven: Aapujoki, Northern Sami: Ábojohka) [3] is also utilized by the power plant. [4] Water is supplied to the reservoir by the Småvatna, Lassajavre, and Cårrujavrit Hydroelectric Power Stations. The plant came into operation in 1965. [5] In 1999 the company received a license to transfer water from the Brenn River ( Northern Sami: Buollánjohka), Šleađui River ( Northern Sami: Šleađuidjohka), [6] and Olbmá River ( Northern Sami: 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. [7]
