Storfinnforsen Hydroelectric Power Station— 120 MW Hydroelectric
Storfinnforsen Hydroelectric Power Station is a 120 MW hydroelectric facility located in Sweden, operated by Uniper since its commissioning in 1954. The plant generates electricity by harnessing the energy of flowing water, contributing to Sweden's renewable energy production. It ranks as the 47th largest hydro plant in Sweden. With 120 MW, it represents 0.68% of Sweden's total hydro capacity of 17,541 MW. Sweden has 216 hydro plants with a combined capacity of 17,541 MW. Compared to the largest hydro plant, Karlshamn at 1,020 MW, Storfinnforsen is approximately 11.8% the size. Hydropower is a major source of energy in Sweden, accounting for about 40% of the total electricity generation. The country's extensive river systems and favorable geography support significant hydroelectric development. Storfinnforsen is located in Västernorrland County, approximately 500 km north of Stockholm.
