The Sjønstå Hydroelectric Power Station (Norwegian: Sjønstå kraftverk or Sjønstå kraftstasjon)[1] is a hydroelectric power station in the municipality of Fauske in Nordland county, Norway.[2] It is located about 1.4 kilometers (0.87 mi) south-southwest of Sjønstå. It utilizes a drop of 126 meters (413 ft)[1] in the Sjønstå River between Langvatnet (Long Lake) and Øvervatnet (Upper Lake).[3] The plant is a river power station without its own reservoir. It also draws water from the Tverr River[1] and one stream intake. The plant has two 35 MW Francis turbines for an installed capacity of 70 MW, with an average annual production of about 282 GWh.[1][4] It is owned by Salten Kraftsamband and came into operation in 1983.[1][5][6] The plant reuses water that was previously utilized by the Lomi and Fagerli hydroelectric power stations.
