Nørlandselva in Masfjorden
The Nørlandselva power plant is located in Masfjorden Municipality in Vestland and utilizes the fall between the intake in Storevatnet and the power plant by the fjord. The fall of 132 meters will give an annual production of 13.5 GWh. The power plant has been in operation since 2020.

The Nørlandselva power plant is located on the east side of Masfjorden. Steep mountain slopes lead the rain down to the valley floor through Meisdalen and Glyvrebotnen before the water flows into Storevatnet. The water is a regulation reservoir for the power plant with a regulation between elevations 132 and 134. The intake at the west end of Storevatnet leads the water into the pipeline that follows the Nørlandselva down to the fjord and the power plant. The waterway is designed as an underground pipeline of about 1800 meters. The power plant is located down by the fjord in Nørland and has an “overshot” Francis turbine with an installed capacity of 4.9 MW.

Minimum water flow from May 1 – September 30 (l/s): 200
Minimum water flow from October 1 – April 30 (l/s): 70
If the inflow is less than the required minimum water flow and the water level in Storevatnet is at the lowest allowed level, the entire inflow must be passed through. The power plant shall not be in operation in such cases.
All changes in water flow must occur gradually, and typical start/stop operations should not occur
