About this plant

Oksla holds the 46th position among Norway’s power generation facilities, contributing a notable 240 MW to the national grid. This capacity represents 0.60% of the total energy production from Norway’s 440 plants, which collectively produce 39,683 MW, primarily through hydroelectric means. Located at coordinates 60.1201, 6.5566, Oksla is strategically positioned within a hydro-rich region, surrounded by several other significant plants. Notable neighbors include Mauranger (307 MW) and Tysso 2 (258 MW), both of which underscore the area’s robust hydroelectric capabilities. The presence of these facilities illustrates the synergy between them, enhancing grid reliability and responsiveness to fluctuating energy demands. As the 37th largest hydro plant in Norway, Oksla plays an integral role in the nation’s energy profile, where hydroelectric power not only dominates but is essential for achieving sustainability targets. The operational framework of Oksla is managed by a leading energy provider, and its commissioning aligns with Norway’s long-term strategy for renewable energy development. As the world shifts towards cleaner energy sources, Oksla’s contribution is increasingly crucial, supporting both local energy needs and national climate initiatives aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
