Boylefoss is a 102 MW hydroelectric power station located in Norway. The facility generates electricity from water resources and contributes to Norway's extensive hydroelectric generation capacity. It ranks as the 89th largest hydro plant in Norway. With a capacity of 102 MW, it represents 0.3% of Norway's total hydro capacity of 33,795 MW. Norway has 376 hydro plants with a combined capacity of 33,795 MW. Compared to the largest hydro plant in Norway, Kvilldal at 1,444 MW, Boylefoss is approximately one-fourteenth the size. Hydropower is a key component of Norway's energy mix, supplying nearly all of the country's electricity generation. The Boylefoss plant utilizes the region's river systems, which are plentiful due to Norway's mountainous terrain. It is located in the southwestern region of Norway, approximately 150 km from Stavanger.
