Kakkayam Dam, Hydroelectric power station and concrete gravity dam in Kozhikode, India.
Kakkayam Dam is a concrete gravity dam built across the Kuttiyadi River in the mountains of Kerala. The structure harnesses water flow for electricity generation and stands at an elevation of about 750 meters in a mountainous setting.
The dam was developed as a key component of the Kuttiyadi Hydroelectric Project to transform the region's power supply. The installation now contributes significantly to local electricity generation with a capacity of 225 megawatts.
The dam's location near Malabar Wildlife Sanctuary creates opportunities for local communities to engage in environmental conservation and wildlife monitoring activities.
The site is about 51 kilometers from Kozhikode and accessible by regular transport from the railway station and airport. The journey passes through hilly terrain, so allow extra time for travel.
The facility operates through an intricate system of three interconnected power stations that work together to utilize water flow from mountain to valley. This arrangement allows efficient energy generation across multiple levels.
