The Lassajavre Hydroelectric Power Station (Norwegian: Lassajavre kraftverk or Lassajavrre kraftverk[1]) is a hydroelectric power station in the municipality of Kvænangen in Troms county, Norway.[1] The plant utilizes a drop between Lake Abo (Kven: Aapujärvi, Northern Sami: Ábojávri)[2] and Lake Lassa (Kven: Lassojärvi, Northern Sami: Lássájávri).[3] Lake Abo is regulated at a level between 689 meters (2,260 ft) and 669 meters (2,195 ft), and Lake Lassa serves as the reservoir for the Småvatna Hydroelectric Power Station. The Lassajavre plant also utilizes water from Lake Mollis (Kven: Mollisjärvi, Northern Sami: Stuora Mollešjavri)[4] and Lake Sarves (Kven: Kolmas Hirvasjärvi, Northern Sami: Sarvvesjávri).[5] The plant came into operation in 1977.[1] It has a Francis turbine and operates at an installed capacity of 7.2 MW, with an average annual production of about 30 GWh.[1] The plant is controlled by Kvænangen Kraftverk AS, with a 48.2% share owned by Troms Kraft.[6]
