Reppa at a Glance
Reppa is a hydropower plant (Kraftverk) located in Rødøy municipality, Nordland county, Norway [1][2][3]. The facility was commissioned on 17 June 2021 [4] and operates under an active concession granted by the Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate (NVE) [5]. The plant is part of the Reppaelva watershed system [6], which feeds the facility's generation capacity.
The power station is registered with NVE under facility ID 337 [1] and is connected to the NO4 electricity price zone [7], which covers parts of northern Norway. This strategic positioning ensures the plant's output is traded within the regional market framework.
Ownership & Operator
Reppa is owned and operated by **RØDØY-LURØY KRAFTVERK AS** [8], the principal concession holder. This entity holds the legal rights and operational responsibility for the facility under Norwegian hydropower regulations. For detailed information about the operator's portfolio and corporate structure, visit the owner profile.
Hydrological Context
The plant draws water from the **Reppaelva watershed** [6], a river system in the Rødøy region. Understanding the catchment area and seasonal precipitation patterns is essential for assessing long-term generation potential. The hydrological profile of Reppaelva, including detailed runoff data and seasonal variability, is available in the river-specific data section.
Regional & Infrastructure Setting
Location: Rødøy municipality, Nordland county [2][3] Price Zone: NO4 [7] Nearest Statnett Transformer Station: Approximately 0.02 km away, 132 kV capacity [9] Nearest Industrial Hub: Glomfjord Industrial Park (~25 km) [10]
The proximity to a 132 kV transformer station indicates strong grid connectivity, which is critical for reliable power evacuation. The nearby Glomfjord Industrial Park represents a potential demand center for industrial power users in the region.
Data Centre Suitability Assessment
HydroSec's infrastructure assessment framework rates Reppa as Grade A for data centre hosting potential [11]. This rating reflects the facility's technical and locational characteristics relative to the requirements of high-performance computing operations. Grade A indicates suitability for facilities with a maximum estimated capacity of approximately 2 MW [11].
The assessment is qualitative and based on publicly available parameters. Detailed sub-scores, site-specific infrastructure analysis, and technical feasibility studies are available to registered users.

Risks and Limitations
Data Completeness: This profile reflects publicly available NVE data as of the latest update. Operational metrics, financial performance, and detailed technical specifications require direct access to the operator or registered user portal.
Hydrological Variability: Hydropower output is subject to precipitation and runoff patterns, which vary seasonally and annually. Historical generation does not guarantee future performance.
Regulatory Changes: Norwegian energy policy, grid codes, and concession terms may change. Users should monitor official NVE communications for regulatory updates.
Infrastructure Risk: Grid connectivity, transformer capacity, and access routes are subject to maintenance, upgrades, and external disruptions.
No Investment Advice: This profile is informational only and does not constitute investment advice, financial recommendation, or guarantee of returns. Asset managers and investors must conduct independent due diligence and consult qualified advisors before making decisions.
