Midtgulen Church

Midtgulen Church (Norwegian: Midtgulen kyrkje) is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Bremanger Municipality in Vestland county, Norway. It is located in the village of Midtgulen, along the shore of the Gulen fjord. It is one of the two churches for the Midtgulen parish which is part of the Nordfjord prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Bjørgvin. The white, wooden church was built in a long church style in 1904 by the architect Lars Sølvberg from Utvik. The church seats about 180 people. History The old municipality of Bremanger comprised some areas around the Gulen fjord, while the majority of people lived on the island of Bremangerlandet where the parish church was located. The local people of Midtgulen had long thought about the idea of having a church near them, but the issue was more of a wish rather than a demand, and they discussed the matter more among themselves than with the vicar. The first vicar in the parish, Ulrik Koren, was not particularly enthusiastic about building a church at Mudtgulen, as this would mean that he would have to cross the Frøysjøen strait by boat in all kinds of weather. The vicar on his part took no initiative to build more churches in the parish. In the 1860s, a new church was built on the island of Frøya, moving the parish church to a more central location. When the people of Gulen got an auxiliary graveyard in 1879, this was a step closer to getting their own church. In the early 1890s, the matter was formally put on the agenda for the local council. There was no discussion whatsoever concerning the location of the new church; it had to be next to the graveyard. Just after 1900, approval was given for a new church site close to the pine forest in the sheltered bay of Hjellvika, right by the cemetery. The church was designed by Lars Sølvberg and the lead builders were Jens and Ola Sølvberg. Various organisations and individuals joined forces to work and give gifts as the church was being built. The Gulen Rifle Club paid for the coloured window panes (which were in use from 1904 until the restoration work in 1954). The local youth organisation donated money for the first organ, and the congregation raised money for the baptismal font, and other objects and furniture. The new building was consecrated on 3 May 1904 by the Bishop Johan Willoch Erichsen. See also List of churches in Bjørgvin References
Mo Church (Nordland)

Mo Church (Norwegian: Mo kirke) is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Rana Municipality in Nordland county, Norway. It is located in the town of Mo i Rana. It is the church for the Mo parish which is part of the Indre Helgeland prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Sør-Hålogaland. The white, cruciform, wooden church was built in a neo-Gothic style in 1724.

Mo kyrka, Nordland

Mo kyrka i Mo i Rana i Nordland fylke i Norge är församlingskyrka i Mo församling i Sør-Hålogalands stift av Norska kyrkan. Kyrkan uppfördes 1723–1724 efter ritningar av arkitekterna Grenstad och Espen Poulsen. Den invigdes den 6 januari 1724 i ett sammanhang som präglades av pietism och samemission. Kyrkans första präst var "Samernas apostel", Thomas von Westen. Kyrkan genomgick en mycket omfattande ombyggnation från år 1801, och togs halvfärdig i bruk igen 1803; byggnadsarbete och renoveringar kom att pågå i decennier. Kyrkan målades röd i samband med en senare tillbyggnad 1860–1863 och fick sin nuvarande vita färg 1908. Inventarier Kyrkans bänkar byttes senast ut vid en storskalig renovering 1956. Bakom altaret hänger en tredelad altartavla från 1866 målad av Eilert Balle Lund. Mittpartiet återger Jesu himmelsfärd medan vänster panel föreställer Mose med budordstavlorna och högerpanelen porträtterar aposteln Johannes. I ett kapell bakom koret återfinns en äldre altartavla, från 1760-talet. Den är snidad 1766 av Jens Pedersen Fagermoen och målad 1768 av Povel Kolset. Predikstolen i trä är från 1800-talet och är placerad i sydöst. Kyrkans första orgel installerades 1890. År 1989 ersattes den av en mekanisk orgel med 16 stämmor och närmare 1700 pipor. Källor
Moe Church

Moe Church (Norwegian: Moe kirke) is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Orkland Municipality in Trøndelag county, Norway. It is located in the village of Vormstad, about 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) south of the town of Orkanger. It is the church for the Orkland parish which is part of the Orkdal prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Nidaros. The white, wooden church was built in a cruciform style in 1867 by the builder Ole Fredriksen Rømmesmo. The church seats about 310 people. History The original chapel in Orkland was built in 1675 in the nearby village of Svorkmo where many people worked at a smelting factory. It was a cruciform building with tower on the roof with a church porch on the west end. On 3 June 1816, there was a river flood which swept through the area along the river where the cemetery and church were located. The church was heavily damaged and not much of the interior furniture was able to be saved. The church was torn down and its materials were used for flood protection in Svorkmo. A new church was constructed on the nearby Smedshaugen farm about 800 metres (2,600 ft) northeast of the old church site (on higher ground, further away from the river). The new church was a small, octagonal church. Eventually, the smelter in Svorkmo was closed down and the church was too small for the parish, so despite its young age, the church was closed and torn down in 1866. Soon after, a new church was constructed at Moe on the south side of Vormstad, about 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) north of Smedshaugen. The new site was more easily accessible for the people of the parish. After some delays, the construction began in 1866 and the church was consecrated on 28 December 1867 by bishop Andreas Grimelund. The church was extensively repaired under the leadership of John Tverdahl in 1958–1959. Media gallery See also List of churches in Nidaros References
Mongstad Power Station

Mongstad Power Station is a natural gas-fired combined power plant and heating plant located at the industrial site of Mongstad in Norway. The station is owned by a consortium of Equinor (formerly Statoil) and Ørsted A/S, and was operated by the latter, but in 2013 Ørsted divested their share, selling it to Statoil. Construction costs are estimated at NOK 4 billion. The power station will have an installed effect of 280 MW in electricity production and 350 MW in heat. The energy will be used to operate the Mongstad Refinery as well to supply the Troll Gas Field with power. The plant will use 0.7 billion normal cubic meter (BCM) of gas per year. Emissions of carbon dioxide will be 1.2 million tonnes. The power station has been subject to controversy in Norway, based upon the potential increase in emission of greenhouse gases. The closure of the plant has been postponed several times. The plant was supposed to be closed at the end of 2018, but was still in operation as of 2021.

ТЕС Монгстад

ТЕС Монгстад (норв. Energiverk Mongstad) — електростанція у норвезькому регіоні Вестланн (південно-західна частина країни), споруджена за технологією комбінованого парогазового циклу. Стала другою ТЕС такого типу в країні, та, найімовірніше, останньою. Майданчик для станції обрали в індустріальній зоні Монгстад, розташованій у окрузі Гордалан, на північ від Бергена. Тут розташований потужний нафтопереробний комплекс, що мав стати споживачем теплової енергії ТЕС. Серед потенційних споживачів електроенергії окрім НПЗ також рахувались платформа Troll A на найбільшому норвезькому газовому родовищі Троль та газопереробний завод у Kollsnes. Як основне паливо передбачались вторинні гази НПЗ та природний газ. В складі енергоблоку встановили обладнання компанії Siemens: 2 газові турбіни 9001E потужністю по 130 МВт та 1 парова потужністю 20 МВт. Загальна паливна ефективність при роботі в режимі ТЕЦ повинна була становити від 70 до 80 %, при цьому теплова потужність (350 МВт) перевищувала б електричну (280 МВт). Введена в експлуатацію у 2009 році, станція так і не змогла досягнути рівня рентабельності, причиною чого був значно нижчий від прогнозованого попит на пару з боку НПЗ. Як наслідок, по завершенні в 2018 році контракту на постачання природного газу електростанція буде зупинена. Починаючи з 2011 на ТЕС Монгстад працює експериментальна установка по вловлюванню двоокису вуглецю потужністю 100 тисяч тон на рік. Планувалось, що після вдосконалення технологій тут буде розгорнутий повномасштабний проект, який нейтралізуватиме викиди як електростанції, так і нафтопереробного комплексу. Станом на 2017 рік Технологічний центр Монгстад, який є провідною установою в своїй галузі, продовжував роботу над апробацією нових технологій боротьби з емісією парникових газів. Примітки

Narvik Energi

Narvik Energi is a power company that serves Narvik in Norway. It operates seven hydroelectric power stations and Nygårdsfjellet wind farm. The company is owned by the City of Narvik (50.01%), DONG Energy (33.33%) and HelgelandsKraft (16.66%). Total annual average production is 950 GWh. Operations The company operates the power stations of Nygård, Håkvikelva, Sildvik, Sørfjord I, Sørfjord II, Sirkevann and Taraldsvik. The power grid is through the Narvik Energinett, that is owned 49% by HelgelandsKraft. The company owns its windfarms through the 50% owned companies Nordkraft Vind (that operates Nygårdsfjellet), Vesterålskraft Vind and Lofotkraft Vind. History On 21 December 1913 the Narvik Kommunale Elektrisitetsverk was established by the municipality. The same year the first power station, Høybakkfoss, was opened and street lighting was established in Narvik, while Silvannfos was built two years later. The company also established an electrical article store and installation division, but these were closed in 1995 and 1990, respectively. In 1922 Mølnfoss was opened, and in 1923 the Norwegian State Railways announced that Ofotbanen was to be electrified, and NKE built Nygårdsvassdraget to cover the need, opening in 1932. In 1949 Håkvikvassdraget was rebuilt with one new power station. In 1995 the company, that had been a municipal agency, was transformed to a limited company with the municipality as sole owner. From 1998 to 2001 Narvik Energi increased its ownership in Nordkraft from 17% to 100%, but at the same time HelgelandsKraft and Vesterålskraft bought part of Narvik Energi. In 2002 the Danish state enterprise Energi E2 (now DONG) bought a third of the company, through buying out Vesterålskraft, part of HelgelandsKrafts ownership and through an issue. In 2003 the power grid was demerged into a Narvik Energinett and 49% sold to HelgelandsKraft. In 2005 the wind farm at Nygårdsfjellet was opened. In 2006 all the electrical production was concentrated in the wholly owned subsidiary Nordkraft.

Tingvoll Church

Tingvoll Church (Norwegian: Tingvoll kyrkje) is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Tingvoll Municipality in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway. It is located in the village of Tingvollvågen. It is the church for the Tingvoll parish which is part of the Indre Nordmøre prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Møre. The stone church was built in a long church style during the second half of the 1100s by an unknown architect. The church seats about 430 people. History The church is one of the few remaining old stone churches that was built in Norway. The earliest existing historical records of the church date back to the year 1333, but it was not new that year. There is some uncertainty as to when it was actually constructed, but records indicate it was between 1150 and 1200. The church was built here, since during the pre-Christian era, Tingvoll was an assembly place (Norwegian: ting) for all of the Nordmøre region. As a consequence the church is sometimes called Nordmørsdomen, meaning the Nordmøre cathedral. The centuries-old Romanesque style Tingvoll church and the large angular farmhouse beside it, lie on a spot on the north side of the Tingvollfjorden, just outside the village of Tingvollvågen off of Norwegian National Road 70 (Rv70). In 1814, this church served as an election church (Norwegian: valgkirke). Together with more than 300 other parish churches across Norway, it was a polling station for elections to the 1814 Norwegian Constituent Assembly which wrote the Constitution of Norway. This was Norway's first national elections. Each church parish was a constituency that elected people called "electors" who later met together in each county to elect the representatives for the assembly that was to meet at Eidsvoll Manor later that year. Design The church is 32 metres (105 ft) long and the steeple and spire (added in 1787) is 36 metres (118 ft) tall. The rectangular nave measures about 22 by 12.5 metres (72 ft × 41 ft) and the chancel measures about 10 by 10 metres (33 ft × 33 ft). The 1.8-metre (5 ft 11 in) thick walls have corridors inside, both on the south side and on the north side. The corridors lead to steep stairs up to the crown of the wall under the rafters and then down again with the same steep pitch. It is a mystery why they were constructed. So also a balcony outside under the gable, located above the chancel. The church is richly decorated. From the painted walls in the weaponhouse, the whitewash paintings inside the nave, to the arc ceiling in the chancel which is adorned with stars and half moons. In the chancel wall, behind the top of the altarpiece, there is a marble rock with runic inscriptions. This inscription contains a prayer and also what is believed to be the name of a person named Gunnar who built the church. In 1928-1929 the church underwent some restoration work.

Norwegian Museum of Hydropower and Industry

The Norwegian Museum of Hydropower and Industry (Norwegian: Norsk Vasskraft- og Industristadmuseum) is a cultural history museum in the town of Odda in Vestland county, Norway. The museum is located in the village of Tyssedal. The museum is dedicated to the industrial history of Odda and Tyssedal, and more generally to history related to rivers and water, hydropower production, electricity, power intensive industry and its society. A main attraction is the power station Tysso I, which was designed by architect Thorvald Astrup (1876–1940) and constructed between 1906 and 1918. The station contains machinery and control room equipment from the entire period of operation, 1908–1989. In 2000 Tyssedal power plant – including Tysso I, pipelines, distribution pool and watchman's house at Lilletopp, and intake pool and valve house at Vetlevann – was protected for posterity by the Norwegian Directorate for Cultural Heritage. During the following years the power plant went through extensive restoration. Close to the power station is the former administration building for AS Tyssefaldene, the power generation company that owns and operates the hydropower plant. Today the building houses the museum's exhibitions, library, archives, photo and audio collections, as well as an auditorium. Further upstream it is possible to visit the installations at Lilletopp, Vetlevann and the Ringedals Dam. Three old workmen's houses in Odda and a small former hydrologic research station at the glacier Folgefonna are also part of the museum. A via ferrata has been built that allows safe climbing along the very steep pipeline. References External links Norsk Vasskraft- og Industristadmuseum website AS Tyssefaldene website

Huk, Norway

Huk is a parkland and a sandy beach (Hukodden) at the furthest south of the Bygdøy peninsula west of the city center of Oslo, Norway. The area was acquired by Aker municipality in 1921. The bathing beach is divided into a regular public beach and a naturist beach area. The naturist beach is on a shank northwest of Hukodden, formerly the garden of the brush manufacturer Jordan. Jens Stoltenberg's second government bought in 2005 a villa with shoreline bordering the public beach at Huk, and in 2006 opened a new public beach there. The villa was later resold but the shoreline is still open for all. Just off the beach area are sculptures, Large Arch (1963–1969) by Henry Moore and Icarus (1965) and Døhlen by Anne Sofie Døhlen (1967). The area is accessible by bus number 30 from central Oslo.
