A new NOK 1.8 billion powerplant called Lysebotn II with 370 MW Francis turbines is being built nearby to replace it, with an expected life of 60-70 years. The tunnels are 7.8 km long, 45m2 wide, and transporting 60m3/second.[2][3]

The reservoir has a capacity of 595 million m3 water[4] located at 636-686 m altitude.
