The Olidan power plant was the Swedish state's first hydropower project. The first four turbines went into operation in 1910. Subsequently, construction continued, and from 1914 four more turbines were added. Due to the increasing demand and growing capacities due to the straightening of the Göta Älv, another five turbines were subsequently built. In 1921, the Olidan power plant had a total of 13 turbines, ten of which are still operational today, and three have since been dismantled and "cannibalized". However, today, more than three turbines are rarely in operation at the same time. Each turbine has a capacity of 10 MW.
