Full mechanical upgrade

Løkjelsvatn Power Station

In 2018, Sunnhordland Kraftlag (SKL) decided to build Løkjelsvatn hydropower station in southwestern Norway. The power station uses water from the Løkjelsvatn reservoir.

The water is led through tunnels to an underground powerhouse equipped with one Francis turbine with output of 65MW, at the net head of 544m (measured as the drop from the reservoir to the turbine).

In 2024, Aker Solutions commissioned an upgrade of mechanical equipment in the powerhouse, consisting of a Francis turbine, a main inlet valve, a turbine governor system and a cooling and drainage system.
