At the turn of the millennium, the four landowners along the Alsåker river, Arne Råen, Per Mælen, Sara Lid Wæhle and Trond Aksel Alvsåker, began working on a plan to develop the watercourse. The watercourse had earlier provided power for both mill houses and sawmills, so the idea of putting the river to work was not far-fetched. After taking a good look at the project, the landowners realised that it presented plenty of challenges! Not only did it require big money, but also the necessary expertise for managing such a project. Thus, the landowners had to find the right partner.
In 2003, a contract was signed with Småkraft, which assumed the risk, the work with the licensing process and the development itself. Excavators arrived in 2007. In September 2008, the power plant was completed and ready to deliver its contribution in the form of new renewable energy and local business revenues.
