Sikkajokk at a Glance
Sikkajokk is a hydropower plant located in Nordreisa municipality, Troms county, in northern Norway [1]. The facility operates under NVE plant ID 364 and has been in commercial operation since 22 December 2010 [2][3]. As a Kraftverk (conventional hydropower station) [4], it forms part of Norway's distributed renewable energy infrastructure and is connected to the NO4 price zone on the Nordic electricity market [5].
The plant draws water from the Sikkajåkka watershed system [6], which provides the hydrological foundation for its generation profile. Its operational status with the Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate (NVE) is classified as active [7].
Ownership & Concession
Sikkajokk is held under concession by **YMBER PRODUKSJON AS** [8], the primary rights-holder responsible for operation and maintenance. The concession framework is governed by Norwegian energy law and NVE oversight, ensuring compliance with environmental and grid-connection standards.
Institutional investors evaluating this asset should review the concessionaire's operational track record, financial position, and any planned capital expenditure or modernisation programmes through the owner profile.
Hydrological Context
The plant's water supply originates from the **Sikkajåkka watershed** [9], a catchment area in the Troms region. Understanding the hydrological regime—including seasonal inflow patterns, precipitation variability, and long-term runoff trends—is essential for revenue forecasting and risk assessment. Detailed hydrological data, including historical inflow statistics and drought scenarios, is available to registered users.
Regional & Grid Infrastructure
Location: Nordreisa, Troms [10] Electricity Price Zone: NO4 [11] Nearest Statnett Transmission Station: Storslett, approximately 11.26 km away at 66 kV voltage level [12] Nearest Industrial Zone: Finnfjord (Skaland), approximately 123 km distant [13]
The proximity to Storslett transmission infrastructure indicates reasonable grid connectivity for power evacuation. The NO4 zone pricing reflects northern Norway's regional electricity market dynamics, influenced by hydropower availability, seasonal demand, and interconnection flows.
Data Centre Suitability Assessment
Sikkajokk receives a Grade A rating for data centre hosting potential [14], indicating strong technical and locational suitability for compute-intensive operations. This assessment considers:
- Proximity to grid infrastructure (Storslett 66 kV station)
- Renewable energy availability from on-site generation
- Regional cooling conditions in Troms
- Operational stability (active concession, established operator)
The Grade A classification suggests this facility warrants detailed due diligence for co-location or power-purchase arrangements. Specific megawatt capacity, thermal output, and sub-scores for cooling, redundancy, and latency are available upon registration.
What You'll Access After Registration
HydroSec's registered users gain full transparency on:
- Technical Specifications: Maximum output (MaksYtelse), average annual production (MidProd), gross head (BruttoFallhoyde)
- Hydrological Detail: Historical inflow data, seasonal profiles, drought resilience metrics
- Financial Modelling: Production forecasts, price-zone dynamics, grid-connection costs
- Infrastructure Mapping: Precise GPS coordinates, substation schematics, access routes
- Data Centre Sub-Scores: Cooling capacity, power density, network latency, redundancy options
These data points are essential for institutional investment analysis, asset valuation, and operational planning.

Risks and Limitations
Regulatory Risk: Concession terms, environmental compliance requirements, and NVE policy changes may affect operational flexibility or profitability.
Hydrological Variability: Hydropower output is inherently dependent on precipitation and runoff. Drought periods or unusually low inflow years can reduce generation and revenue.
Market Risk: Electricity prices in the NO4 zone fluctuate based on regional supply, demand, and interconnection flows. Power-price hedging strategies may be necessary.
Grid Dependency: Transmission constraints, maintenance windows, or grid stability measures imposed by Statnett may limit power evacuation or increase curtailment risk.
Data Limitations: This public summary does not constitute financial, legal, or investment advice. Specific technical and financial data are restricted to authenticated users. Asset valuations, IRR projections, and tax implications must be assessed independently with qualified advisors.
No Guarantee of Returns: Historical production or price-zone data do not guarantee future performance. Investors must conduct comprehensive due diligence before committing capital.
