Skanska is to build the 85MW Nedre Otta hydropower plant in Sel and Vågå, Norway under a NOK 657 million (US$81 million) contract awarded by Eidsiva Vannkraft AS.

The project involves about 12,000m of tunnel work, construction of the power station and transformer hall and concrete work around the intake, power plant area, outflow and portal. The plant will use the existing intake dam at Eidefossen power plant.

Work is expected to start in October 2016 with completion scheduled for spring 2020.
