The Lysebotn Power Station is a hydroelectric power station located in the municipality Sandnes in Rogaland, Norway. The facility operates at an installed capacity of 210 MW. The average annual production is 1,242 GWh.^[1] It has produced 63 TWh since it started in 1953.

A new NOK 1.8 billion powerplant called Lysebotn II with 370 MW Francis turbines was built nearby, with an expected life of 60–70 years. The tunnels are 7.8 km long, 45 m² wide, and transporting 60 m³/second.^[2]^[3] It officially opened on the 17th of September 2018.^[4]

The reservoir has a capacity of 595×10^⁶ m³ (0.595 km³) water^[5] located at 636–686 m altitude.
