Last update
Näverede power station, located on the river Indalsälven, was commissioned in 1955.
As part of Vattenfall’s modernisation programme, Näverede power plant has undergone a number of upgrades to extend its operational life. Both units have been upgraded and the turbine has been fitted with an impeller with an oil-free hub. In addition, measures have been implemented to increase the efficiency of the power plant.
