Åsele Hydro Power Station is situated on the Ångermanälven River, about 8 kilometres south of the town of Åsele. The main branch (Åseleälven) of the Ångermanälven River is already fully exploited for hydro power purposes downstream of the Åsele plant. About 30 power plants are in operation on the Ångermanälven River. The facility operates a bulb turbine with a capacity of 27 MW. The head (drop) that the plant utilises is 11 metres.
