Glomfjord power plant
Glomfjord power plant is a 6×20 MW hydroelectric power plant in the village of Glomfjord in the municipality of Meløy in Nordland county, Norway. It gets its water from Nedre Navervatn lake which is located about above sea level, but there are plans to start taking water from Fykanvatn lake as well. The outlet of the plant is the Glomfjorden and then the Norwegian Sea.
The plant is currently owned by Statkraft.
History
The power plant was built in 1918 to a design by the architect Olaf Nordhagen. In 1942, during the Second World War, an Anglo-Norwegian raid, Operation Musketoon, attacked the German-held power plant.
