The reservoir is regulated between 863 and 834 metres above sea level. Several stream intakes also supply water to the power plant's two turbines. Lake Kvilesteinsvatn, which is regulated between 920 and 995 metres above sea level, is also used as a regulating reservoir.
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.
