Sima Hydroelectric Power Station

Large hydroelectric station near Eidfjord, showing the engineered side of Norwegian mountain water.

Sima Hydroelectric Power Station is a reminder that Norway's waterfalls are not only scenery. Mountain water here is also power, diverted and managed through large-scale engineering.

Access varies, but even understanding the station's presence changes how you see the surrounding valleys. The same geography that creates spectacular falls also drives much of modern Norway's electricity.
