Last update
Bergeforsen power plant on the river Indalsälven was commissioned in 1955.
Between 2011 and 2014, Bergeforsen power plant was upgraded and a new spillway channel was built. These measures increased the performance and efficiency of the plant.
One of Vattenfall's fish farms is located close to the power plant.
Bergeforsen is jointly owned by Vattenfall and Uniper.
