The Svorka Hydroelectric Power Station (Norwegian: Svorka kraftverk) is a hydroelectric power station in the municipality of Surnadal in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway. It is located about 4 kilometers (2.5 mi) northeast of the village of Bøverfjorden.

The Svorka River is also regulated for the plant. Its catchment area is 104.5 square kilometers (40.3 sq mi). Water is also transferred from several lakes: Litlbøvervatnet is regulated between 343 meters (1,125 ft) and 333 meters (1,093 ft), Solåsvatnet and Geitøyvatnet are regulated between 336 meters (1,102 ft) and 331 meters (1,086 ft), and Andersvatnet is regulated between 294 meters (965 ft) and 305 meters (1,001 ft). The plant has a Francis turbine and operates at an installed capacity of 25 MW, and has an average annual production of about 111 GWh.
