The '''Laxholm Hydroelectric Generating Station''' is a [[w:Hydroelectricity|hydroelectric]] generating station located on the upper [[River Rann]] in [[Rocail]]'s [[County Lochaber]]. It is the largest hydroelectric generating station in the country in terms of capacity, contributing 1,520 MW to Rocail's {{w|power grid}}. Energy from the Laxholm facility is responsible for approximately 10% of Rocail's electricity. The dam is located in the town of Laxholm and creates the Laxholm Reservoir, which extends through the [[Thorshamarr Range]] to the city of [[Athakan]].

The Laxholm station is operated by [[Statvatnkraft Rocail|SVK Rocail]], a state-owned firm, and has been in operation since 1972.
