Solbergfoss power station

Solbergfoss power station features two distinct power plants equipped with Francis and Kaplan turbines, processing 1200 cubic meters of water per second.

The construction of this power station began in 1913, marking a milestone as no other facility of this scale had been built in Norway before.

Norwegian architect Bredo Greve designed the monumental structure, which stands among 27 power plants recognized as valuable cultural monuments in Norway.

The power station generates 900 gigawatt-hours annually through its combined operations of thirteen Francis turbines and one Kaplan turbine.

Engineers created a 1:25 scale model of the entire power station in Nordmarka outside Oslo to test construction methods before actual implementation.
