The Sjønstå Hydroelectric Power Station ( Norwegian: Sjønstå kraftverk or Sjønstå kraftstasjon) [1] is a hydroelectric power station in the municipality of Fauske in Nordland county, Norway. [2] It is located about 1.4 kilometers (0.87 mi) south-southwest of Sjønstå. It utilizes a drop of 126 meters (413 ft) [1] in the Sjønstå River between Langvatnet (Long Lake) and Øvervatnet (Upper Lake). [3] The plant is a river power station without its own reservoir. It also draws water from the Tverr River [1] and one stream intake. The plant has two 35 MW Francis turbines for an installed capacity of 70 MW, with an average annual production of about 282 GWh. [1] [4] It is owned by Salten Kraftsamband and came into operation in 1983. [1] [5] [6] The plant reuses water that was previously utilized by the Lomi and Fagerli hydroelectric power stations.
