格隆峡湾发电厂

The power plant is built above ground and originally had six generating units with vertical Pelton turbines. Only one of the original units is still in operation due to reduced water flow.

The first construction phase of 格隆峡湾发电厂 with three generating units was completed in 1920. The last three units were commissioned after World War II. The entire project was completed in 1950.

As a result of the Svartisen development in the 1990s, water flow to the plant was reduced. Only one of the six original generating units was rebuilt and modernised and is still in operation. Three of the newest units were dismantled and removed after a comprehensive historical documentation of the facility was completed.

In recent times a new mini generating unit was installed in Glomfjord's machine room to harness the height of fall from nearby Lake Fykanvann.

二战期间, 1942年9月20日, the penstocks and turbine room at 格隆峡湾发电厂 were blown up during an Allied sabotage operation known as Operation Musketoon. This succeeded in stopping the power supply so that the German military had to abandon their plans to increase aluminium production at the plants in Haugvik.

格隆峡湾发电厂 has the status of a national heritage site. It is proposed that the facility be protected in mg游戏官方网站's national protection plan for cultural heritage buildings.
