Nygårds Power Station is a hydroelectric power plant in Storelva in Narvik Municipality. It has a power output of 25 megawatts (34,000 hp) generated by three vertical Francis turbines.[1] Originally, it was used also for the generation of single phase AC for the railway, but today only three phase AC is produced.
