In 2018, two new stone-filled dams were completed at Skjerkevatn: Dam Heddersvika and Dam Skjerkevatn, replacing five old concrete dams. The new dams raised the water level to 23 meters.

Now, the original Skjerkevatn and the former Nåvatn look like one reservoir. The stone-filled dams are an impressive sight, and Agder Energi received the award “Damkrona 2018” (“The Dam Crown 2018”) for excellent design.

In addition, the road leading up to the dam is a scenic experience in itself.
