The Brokke Power Station is a hydroelectric power station located in the municipality Valle in Agder county, Norway. It is located on the west shore of the river Otra, about north of the village of Rysstad. The Norwegian National Road 9 runs past the station. The facility operates at an installed capacity of 330MW. The average annual production is 1416GWh. The power station receives its water from the lake Botnsvatnet via a 30km (20miles) long tunnel from the lake high up in the mountains. The water flowing down through the tunnel is used to produce the hydroelectric power.[1]
