Tokke is a river in Telemark county, Norway. The river is about 35km (22miles) long and it flows through the municipalities of Vinje and Tokke, between the lakes Totak and Bandak. The Tokke river system was regulated for hydroelectric power generation between 1959 and 1979. During this time, seven hydroelectric power stations with a combined installed capacity of 976MW were constructed along the river and its tributaries. The power stations have an average annual production of 4492GWh.[1] [2]
