This article describes and analyses how small protests against the construction of hydropower plant at local level can take a national scale and lead to a rare occasion where Swedish parliament overruns a governmental decision. This event in 1979 had significant consequences for the government, which had to pay 270 million crone compensation to the enterprise that was willing to build the plant in Sölvbacka in northern Sweden. With the reference to the research on political consequences of social movements, we propose that this small group of local activists achieved their goals thanks to the continued protests, help of significant political allies at the local and national level, and the general political context which dominated in Sweden after the elections in 1979. The study demonstrates that even small groups of citizens in the remote areas can have an impact on environmental or energy politics by sustaining its mobilisation and gaining support from important political allies.
