The Småvatna Hydroelectric Power Station (Norwegian: Småvatna kraftverk) is a hydroelectric power station in the municipality of Kvænangen in Troms county, Norway. The plant utilizes a 283-meter (928 ft) drop between Lake Lassa (Kven: Lassojärvi, Northern Sami: Lássájávri)[1] and Little Lakes (Norwegian: Småvatnan, Kven: Pikkujärvet, Northern Sami: Čorrojávrrit).[2] Lake Lassa is regulated at a level between 543 m (1,781 ft) and 519 m (1,703 ft), and Little Lakes serves as the reservoir for the Kvænangsbotn Hydroelectric Power Station. The Småvatna plant also utilizes water from Abo River[3] (Norwegian: Aboelva, Kven: Aapujoki, Northern Sami: Ábojohka)[4] and the Lassajavre Hydroelectric Power Station. The plant came into operation in 1969. It has a Francis turbine and operates at an installed capacity of 18.8 MW, with an average annual production of about 61 GWh. The plant is controlled by Kvænangen Kraftverk AS, with a 48.2% share owned by Troms Kraft.[5]
