The Eidsfossen Hydroelectric Power Station (or Eidsfossen kraftstasjon[1] [2]) is a decommissioned hydroelectric power station in the municipality of Tynset in Innlandet county, Norway.[2]
The power station is located in the Kvikne Forest (Kvikneskogen). It utilized a drop of 48m (157feet) on the Orkla River. The power plant was built to supply electricity to the Røstvangen Mines and built from 1915 to 1917, when it became operational.[1] The plant was decommissioned in 1999.[1]
An information sign about the power plant has been set up at a rest area along Norwegian National Road 3, and the old dam construction for the plant can be seen from the same route 5km (03miles) south of Yset.[3]
