Hydroelectric power and the environment
When developing and operating our hydroelectric power systems, Skagerak Kraft must take many interests into account. Our goal is to achieve a sustainable water management:
- Rivers and watercourses are important as a landscape element and ecosystem. Necessary interventions must be performed in a way that causes as little disturbance as possible.
- Waterways have an important function in both drought and flood situations
- Multiple uses for the population in the form of recreation, transport and as water supply for households, industry and agriculture.
- Skagerak Kraft carries out annual environmental activities in connection with its hydroelectric facilities.
