Moflåt: Plant Overview
Moflåt (NVE ID 273) is a Kraftverk-type hydropower facility located in Tinn municipality, Telemark county. The plant has been in continuous operation since 1953 [1], making it an established component of Norway's hydropower infrastructure. It operates within the NO2 electricity price zone, which serves as the reference for spot-market pricing in this region.
The facility is part of the Skiensvassdraget water system, one of Norway's significant catchment areas. This hydrological context shapes the plant's operational profile and seasonal water availability.
Ownership & Operator
Moflåt is owned and operated by HYDRO ENERGI AS [2], the primary concession holder. HYDRO ENERGI AS holds the active concession status (as confirmed by NVE records) [3] and is responsible for all operational and maintenance activities at the facility.
Regional Context
Location: Tinn, Telemark [4] Price Zone: NO2 [5] Concession Status: Active [6]
The plant's location in Telemark positions it within one of Norway's core hydropower regions. The NO2 price zone encompasses much of Eastern Norway and serves as a key reference for spot-market pricing and grid balancing across the region.
Grid Infrastructure & Connectivity
The nearest Statnett transmission substation is located at Rjukan, approximately 0.39 km from the facility [7]. This proximity to transmission infrastructure provides a significant operational advantage for grid integration and export capacity. The nearest industrial cluster is Herøya (Porsgrunn), located approximately 102 km away [8].
HydroSec Data Center Suitability Assessment
Grade: A [9]
Moflåt receives a Grade A assessment for data center suitability, with an estimated capacity of approximately 6 MW. This rating reflects the facility's technical and operational characteristics as evaluated by HydroSec's proprietary methodology.

Risks and Limitations
Data Completeness: This page presents publicly available information. Detailed technical, financial, and hydrological data are available only to registered users and may require direct verification with NVE or the plant operator.
Regulatory Changes: Hydropower concessions in Norway are subject to periodic review and modification by NVE. Concession terms, environmental requirements, and operational constraints may change. Current status reflects NVE records as of the data publication date.
Market Conditions: Electricity prices, grid demand, and water availability are subject to significant variation. Historical performance does not guarantee future results. Price zone assignments and grid infrastructure may be modified by Statnett or NVE.
Data Currency: While HydroSec maintains regular data updates from NVE sources, there may be a lag between operational changes and data publication. For real-time operational information, contact the plant operator or NVE directly.
