VOKKS (Vestoppland kommunale kraftselskap) is a Norwegian power company owned by the municipalities of Etnedal (33.3%) and Nordre Land (66.7%). Its history is tied to the development of local hydropower in the Vestoppland region. The Åvella power plant was completed in 1924, marking an early milestone in the company's hydropower operations. Over the decades, VOKKS expanded its portfolio of small-scale hydroelectric plants. The company operates plants in the Åvella watercourse, Fallselva, Hunnselva and Stokkelva. Its power plants include Høgfallet, Vestbakken, Breiskallen, Åmot, Brufoss, Skrankefoss (out of operation from 2009), and Åvella. In the autumn of 2007, construction began on the Fall power plant, designed to utilize a 238-metre drop from the Linderuddammen dam to Randsfjorden. Located in the Fallselva river in the Drammensvassdraget watershed, Fall power plant was built to replace the Skrankefoss plant from early 2009. The company also manages water reservoirs such as Trevatna, Akksjøen and Einafjorden. Today, VOKKS AS operates through subsidiaries VOKKS Kraft, VOKKS Installasjon and Etna Nett, providing electricity production, sales, grid operations and installation services.
