Statkraft AS has opened the two hydroelectric power plants, Vesle Kjela and Storlia, located on the opposite sides of the Hardanger mountain plateau in Norway.
The Vesle Kjela and Storlia power plants, both have the same installed capacity of 8.5 MW, and are capable of producing enough electricity to power around 4,000 homes annually.
The Vesle Kjela is located at the top of the Tokke/Vinje regulated watercourse and uses the head from the regulated Kjelavatn lake in the Haukelifjell mountain area, while the Storlia power plant utilizes a head of 75 meters between the Bjoreio river and Sysenvatn lake in the municipality of Eidfjord as part of the Sima regulation.
