Skanska will also construct a 12,000m tunnel and a transformer hall for the station, which will be used to connect to an existing intake dam at Eidefossen power plant. Using pre-existing infrastructure in this way, combined with the build's mountain location, will help reduce environmental impact of construction. Once complete, It will also make a large contrubution to the country's climate targets for 2020.
Construction is scheduled to start in October this year, and the project will be completed by mid-2020.
