The Nowegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate (NVE) has done a review of  the concession to operate Glomsdam kraftverk. NVE states that the project will not lead to appreciable damage or disadvantage for the public. According to NVE the project will not require a concession to operate according to the Norwegian water resource law § 8. Detailed plans for the project will require approval from NVE before construction can start.
