Koyna Hydroelectric Project, Hydroelectric power complex in Satara district, Maharashtra, India.
The Koyna Hydroelectric Project contains four dams along the Koyna River, featuring underground powerhouses that generate electricity through head race tunnels.
The construction of this power plant started in 1954, evolving from a two-stage plan into a multi-stage scheme due to increasing electricity requirements.
The Nehru Memorial Park within the complex includes an auditorium named Yashogatha that documents the engineering accomplishments of the project.
The facility maintains a total capacity of 1,960 megawatts through multiple stages, with eight turbines in stages I and II generating 600 MW combined.
The project borders the Koyna Wildlife Sanctuary, where numerous endangered plant and animal species find protection in the Western Ghats ecosystem.
