Botnur kraftværk
Botnur kraftværk
Botnur kraftværk (færøsk: Elektrisitetsverkið í Botni) er et vandkraftværk i bygden Botni i Vágs kommuna på Suðuroy på Færøerne. Det blev åbnet i 1921, og var Færøernes første vandkraftværk. Det var først i kommunens eje, og blev så overdraget til et fælleskommunalt selskab (Elfelagið Suðuroy) i 1953, som siden blev en del af det landsomfattende SEV i 1960.
Den norske ingeniør Håkon Blauuw ledede byggearbejdet, som blev finansieret med lån på tilsammen 919.417 danske kroner. Dette omfattede lån fra private, sparekasser og staten. De nuværende to turbiner installeredes i 1965 og 1966, og har en effekt på henholdsvis 1,1 MW og 2,2 MW.

The hydro-electric powerplant in Botni was built in 1920-21, ready to use in 1921. The people in Vágur celebrated the opening of this first electric power plant in the Faroes on 18 July 1921. The mayor, Petur Dahl, also known as Petur á Gørðunum, arranged a party in the public school, where he switched on the lights for the first time. The hydro-electric powerplant in Botni is still in use, but in 1982 an additional powerplant was built on Oyrarnar in Vágur, next to the sea on the southern side of the fjord. These two powerplants provide electricity to the island Suðuroy, which is not connected to the main area due to large distance. When they have a black-out in the main area of the Faroes, Suðuroy still has power and vice-versa. In 1963 Elfelagið Suðuroy joined SEV, which is for the whole country (Faroe Islands).
