Lassajavre Hydroelectric Power Station

The Lassajavre Hydroelectric Power Station (Norwegian: Lassajavre kraftverk or Lassajavrre kraftverk[1]) is a hydroelectric power station in Kvænangen Municipality in Troms county, Norway.[1] The plant utilizes a drop between Lake Abo (Kven: Aapujärvi, Northern Sami: Ábojávri)[2] and Lake Lassa (Kven: Lassojärvi, Northern Sami: Lássájávri).[3] Lake Abo is regulated at a level between 689 meters (2,260 ft) and 669 m (2,195 ft), and Lake Lassa serves as the reservoir for the Småvatna Hydroelectric Power Station. The Lassajavre plant also utilizes water from Lake Mollis (Kven: Mollisjärvi, Northern Sami: Stuora Mollešjavri)[4] and Lake Sarves (Kven: Kolmas Hirvasjärvi, Northern Sami: Sarvvesjávri).[5] The plant came into operation in 1977.[1] It has a Francis turbine and operates at an installed capacity of 7.2 MW, with an average annual production of about 30 GWh.[1] The plant is controlled by Kvænangen Kraftverk AS, with a 48.2% share owned by Troms Kraft.[6]
