Sabarigiri Hydro Electric Project
Sabarigiri Hydro Electric Project is the second largest hydro electric project in Kerala. The Pamba River and its tributary the Kakki River are dammed up to form two separate reservoirs which are connected by a 3.21 km long underground tunnel. The Sabarigiri Powerhouse is then fed from Kakki reservoir. Originally commissioned in 1966 with an installed capacity of 300 MW, from 2005 to 2009, the capacity was increased to 340 MW. The Kakki reservoir is formed by the Kakki Dam and Anathode Dam that form a shared reservoir connected by a natural valley. Anathode is a stream which joins Kakki River downstream of Kakki Dam. The Pamba reservoir is formed by the Pamba Dam. The Kakki and Pamba dam were completed in 1966 and Anathodu Dam in 1967. Pamda reservoir has a catchment area of 90.88 km2 with a full reservoir level (FRL) at above MSL and a minimum drawdown level (MDDL) of above MSL, providing an effective storage at FRL of 31,450,000 m3. Kakki reservoir has a catchment area ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
