The Sagelvi power plant is located in a landscape rich in history and traditions. The Kvamsøy area was described as early as in 1184 in the battle of Fimreit, when King Sverre’s men lay in wait, preparing themselves and their ships for what was to come. Kvamsøy has been named the smallest island in the world with its own church. This was said to have been built as a gift by grateful English seamen who had sought shelter here from a storm.
In July 2005, the landowners entered into a development agreement with Småkraft with the aim to realise a power plant on the Sagelvi river. In 2008, the power plant was granted a licence, and in December 2009, all the plans were approved and Småkraft was ready to begin construction.
