The Kvænangsbotn Hydroelectric Power Station (Norwegian: Kvænangsbotn kraftverk) is a hydroelectric power station in the municipality of Kvænangen in Troms county, Norway. It utilizes a drop of 305 meters (1,001 ft) between its intake reservoir at Little Lakes (Norwegian: Småvatnan, Kven: Pikkujärvet, Northern Sami: Čorrojávrrit)[1] and South Fjord (Norwegian: Sørfjorden, Kven: Sutuvuono, Northern Sami: Suvdovuotna).[2] The reservoir is regulated at a level between 315 m (1,033 ft) and 305 m (1,001 ft). The Abo River (Norwegian: Aboelva, Kven: Aapujoki, Northern Sami: Ábojohka)[3] is also utilized by the power plant.[4] Water is supplied to the reservoir by the Småvatna, Lassajavre, and Cårrujavrit Hydroelectric Power Stations. The plant came into operation in 1965.[5] In 1999 the company received a license to transfer water from the Brenn River (Northern Sami: Buollánjohka), Šleađui River (Northern Sami: Šleađuidjohka),[6] and Olbmá River (Northern Sami: Olbmájohka). The plant has a Francis turbine and operates at an installed capacity of 44 MW, with an average annual production of about 176 GWh. The plant is controlled by Kvænangen Kraftverk AS, with a 48.2% share owned by Troms Kraft.[7]
