Where engineering meets poetry: Grønvollfoss Power Plant stands quietly by the Tinnåa river, its dam mirrored in a glass-like surface. Morning mist drapes the hills, softening the industrial lines into a serene composition. This hydroelectric station is part of Norway’s renewable energy backbone, harnessing the power of water to light up homes while preserving the harmony of nature.

 

Fun Fact

Grønvollfoss kraftverk was commissioned in 1933 and remains an important hydroelectric facility in Telemark. Norway generates over 90% of its electricity from hydropower, making scenes like this a symbol of sustainable energy.

1997 SAAB 9000 CSE Anniversary.

 

2290cc turbo Ecopower.

This Saab 9000 was an interesting sight among the more modern cars in the supermarket car park, especially by having the rather rapid 2.3 litre Ecopower engine.

A really nice car to drive and be in to be honest.

One of the very last 9000s, only an LPT version, but they still drive well and still look awesome.

Production of the 9000 ended in May 1998, this example was registered in August 1998.

I swapped my 523i for this, only the third Saab I have ever driven. It actually felt like a strange middle ground between the classic 900 I owned, and the 9-3 (from the mid 2000s), with GM evidence aplenty but still feeling like a 'proper' Saab.

I do like it.

London SW plates - on SORN - last MOT expired February 2010.

I can't remember the last time I saw a 9000 saloon. How Many Left claims seven manuals and 12 autos left n Ecopower spec. Quite a few MOT failures in recent years, with 125,774 miles recoreded at last MOT.

A heavy winter fog obscured visibility across the outback rural landscape, then suddenly a fog bow appeared, arching across the dirt road lined with flowering wattle - and in the distance barely visible the wind turbines quietly turn generating clean revewable energy.
