It is the home arena of the SHL's Skellefteå AIK as well as Hockeyettan's SK Lejon.

The arena is named after Skellefteå Kraft, a Swedish power company.

Skellefteå Kraft Arena turned into a construction site in late summer 2005, since the decision had been made to renovate the arena.

By the start of the 2007/2008 season the renovation was almost finished, and the seating capacity had been increased from 5,200 to 6,001.

The renovation cost an estimated 140 MSEK, and transformed the arena from a typical Swedish indoor ice hockey venue to a modern ice hockey and event arena.
