The Ulset Hydroelectric Power Station (Norwegian: Ulset kraftverk or Ulset kraftstasjon)[1][2] is a hydroelectric power station in the municipality of Tynset in Hedmark county, Norway.[3][4][5]

The plant is located in the Orkla River system and utilizes a drop of 325 meters (1,066 ft) from Stor-Sverjesjøen (Big Lake Sverja, regulated at 872.5–867.7 meters or 2,863–2,847 feet)[3] and Falningsjøen (Lake Falning, regulated at 872.5–825 meters or 2,863–2,707 feet).[3] It also utilizes water from two streams, which reduces the volume of water supplied to the Ya River.[5]

The plant has a 35 MW Francis turbine and an average annual production of about 140 GWh.[3][4] It started production in 1985. The plant is owned by KVO, whereby Statkraft is the largest owner and it is operated by Trondheim Energi Kraft.[3][4][5]
