'''Vinjeåi''' is a [[river]] in [[Telemark]] county, [[Norway]]. The {{convert|2.6|km|adj=on}} long river starts at the southeastern end of the lake [[Vinjevatn]] where the water flows out into the river. The river flows downstream and end when it joins the river [[Tokke (river)|Tokke]] at the village of [[Åmot, Vinje|Åmot]]. Vinjeåi was regulated as part of the Tokke hydroelectric power development in the 1960s, and water from Vinjevatn is transferred through tunnel to the [[Tokke Hydroelectric Power Station]].<ref name="snl">{{Cite encyclopedia |title=Vinjeåi |encyclopedia=[[Store norske leksikon]] |publisher=[[Kunnskapsforlaget]] |url=https://snl.no/Vinje%C3%A5i |date=2020-12-22 |editor-last=Lundbo |editor-first=Sten |language=no |accessdate=2023-01-07}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Elvenett |url=https://temakart.nve.no/tema/elvenett |access-date=2023-01-07 |publisher=[[Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate]] |language=no}}</ref>
