The Nordsvorka Hydroelectric Power Station (Norwegian: Nordsvorka kraftverk) is a hydroelectric power station in the municipality of Surnadal in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway.[1] It is located about 9 kilometers (5.6 mi) northeast of the village of Sylte. It utilizes a drop of 39 meters (128 ft) on the Nordsvorka River. The river flows from the lake Geitøyvatnet (approximately 336 meters or 1,102 feet)[2] to the lake Langvatnet (approximately 276 meters or 906 feet).[3] It has a Francis turbine and operates at an installed capacity of 2.3 MW, and has an average annual production of about 12.5 GWh.[1][4] The plant came into operation in 2007 and is owned 50% each by Svorka Energi and Statkraft.[1]
