The plant uses a height of fall of 523 metres from the intake reservoir Lake Målsetevatn.

Discharge water from Målset power plant, located further upriver, is transferred to Refsdal power plant in a tunnel. The discharge from Refsdal power plant is then transferred to Hove power plant, which is located furthest down in the Vikja watercourse.

Statkraft is the largest owner and operates the power plant, Sognekraft AS owns the remainder.
