Nygård power plant utilizes the drop between Trollvatn located on Nygårdsfjell and Rombaksfjorden in the municipality of Narvik.

The power plant consists of three vertical Francis turbines at respectively 8, 8 and 9MW. In the regulated area a total of two reservoirs is regulated. Sirkelvann power plant is also located inside the regulated area. Trollvatn is the intake reservoir, from which the water goes in a 3,6km long tunnel. Then the water goes down a 590 long pipeline to the power station at sea. The power plant consists of a total of 7km tunnels.

The power plant has a catchment area of 152km2 and an average annual production of 110GWh. The last major modernization at the plant was completed in 1997-1998. Both excitation, turbine governor, high voltage system, cooling water systems and control systems were replaced.
