Kvåle power plant is located in an already developed watercourse. The Sage power plant, built in the late ’90s, belongs to Luster Energiverk and is situated further up the watercourse. This facility has an established regulation which thus also contributes positively to the production at Kvåle. The power station at Kvåle is located close to existing settlement. The facility has therefore, based on assessments of the consequences of breaks, been built according to specifications for class 3, i.e., the highest safety class for a waterway. Kvåle power plant is the first small-scale power plant in Sogn og Fjordane to hold safety class 3.
Kvåle power plant is operated by the landowners in partnership with Luster Småkraft.
Luster Småkraft AS is owned by Luster Energiverk AS and Småkraft AS. Luster Småkraft will develop, build, and operate small power plants in Luster municipality together with local waterfall rights owners. The company is located in Luster municipality. The company has two facilities in operation, as well as five additional projects seeking licences.
Luster Energiverk AS is the licence holder for the area in Luster municipality and, as a producer and distributor of electrical power, has a history dating back to 1915.
