Building and management of small hydro power plants have long tradition in Norway. Approx. 2000 plants were built from 1900 to 1940. In 1980 approx 250 of these were still in operation. Today the small power stations counts for an output of 8-900 MW with a total production in a year of 3 TWh.

The Energy statute from 1991 has been deregulated and is now based on free competition. This has led into an increased interest for developing small waterfalls. New technique make also small waterfalls easier to exploit. Small Hydro plants do not deteriorate the nature in the same scale as some big size hydro plants. Furthermore are the small hydro plants often situated within the local power net and such reduce the transportation losses.
