Gravfoss II power station

Modum Municipality, Norway

The 3118th largest power station in the world

30.2 MW · Capacity

Gravfoss Power Station (Gravfoss kraftverk) consists of two run-of-the-river power plants in the Drammen watercourse, in Modum municipality, Buskerud, Norway. The plants lie just above the confluence with the Snarum River at Geithus, below Geithusfoss Power Station, and use water coming from Tyrifjorden, the Begna, and the Randsfjorden/Dokka watercourses. Both plants use the drop from the intake dam above Gravfossen, which originally had a natural fall of 14 meters. The current dam was put into use in 1935 and can be regulated with one sector gate and one segment gate. Both power plants are owned by Glitre Energi.
