Kraftverkene i Øvre Namsen


Kraftverkene i Øvre Namsen or KØN was a joint venture between the Norwegian [Water Resources and Energy Directorate] and Nord-Trøndelag Elektrisitetsverk.
The venture started in 1958 and consisted of three wholly owned hydroelectric power stations in Norway and a partial ownership in one power station in Sweden, which opened between 1962 and 1965. With the establishment of Statkraft, the NVE's shares were transferred there. In 2004, NTE bought Statkraft's share, and the power production was incorporated into NTE's operations.
