Modernisation of 42 MW hydropower plant for Statkraft

Statkraft is the largest energy producer in Norway and a large producer in Sweden. The modernisation project of the Bjurfors Övre plant is the first that VEO has done for Statkraft, and as such is very important.

Statkraft’s Bjurfors Övre hydropower plant is located in Västerbotten county in northern Sweden. The plant entered production 1961 and needed a second modernisation of the electrical and automation systems.

VEO was selected for the modernisation and the project delivery included engineering, manufacturing, installation, commissioning and documentation.

“The project shows that VEO is a flexible and trusted partner and supplier, providing a broad scope of technical knowledge that is not tied to a specific brand”, says Ville Vieri, Sales Manager for VEO in Sweden and Norway.
