Low-cost power plants

Skravlåga and its catchment area are located in Vefsn municipality, Nordland County. Skravlåga is located southeast of the Toven mountain massif with the water intake about 4 km west of Elsfjord center. Skravlåga flows into the sea about 1 km northwest of Elsfjord town center.

The intake is at approximately elevation 263 and the outlet at elevation 4, giving a gross head of 259 m. The waterway consists of a buried pipe street of almost 4 km.

The power station is located above ground just above Skravlåga’s outlet to the sea at the existing marina.

Tore Løkke has been the main contractor in connection with the implementation of the project. El-Mek was supplied by Spetals Verk and Brødrene Dahl supplied the waterway equipment.
