Sunnhordland Kraftlag (SKL) has commenced the Blåfalli Fjellhaugen hydropower project in Norway, which will add approximately 185 MW of regulated hydropower and generate an additional 70 GWh annually. The project will increase the total installed capacity in the watercourse to about 550 MW, resulting in a production capacity of around 1.7 TWh per year, sufficient to power over 100,000 households.

Construction began in September 2025 and is expected to take four years. Key partners include Konecranes, Lysaker & Thorrud, Hitachi, Andritz Hydro, Norconsult, and Aker Solutions, providing various components and services for the project.
