The Sysen Dam (Norwegian: Sysendammen) is a rock-fill embankment dam in the municipality of Eidfjord in Hordaland, Norway. The dam is 1,157 meters (3,796 ft) long, 81 meters (266 ft) high, and 258 meters (846 ft) wide at its base. It is built of 3.6 million cubic meters (130×106 ft3) of stone and moraine deposits.[1][2]
The dam holds back Lake Sysen, which is the main reservoir for the Sy-Sima Hydroelectric Power Station. The average annual production of the power station is 1,115 GWh.[3] The reservoir capacity is 427 million cubic meters (15,100×106 ft3) and it is regulated at an elevation of 66 meters (217 ft).[1][2]
The water supply to Vøring Falls is regulated by the dam, and there is a requirement for minimum water supply during the summer season.
The dam is a tourist attraction,[4][5] and it can be accessed from Norwegian National Road 7.[1]
