Kakkad Hydro Electric Project, Hydroelectric power station in Pathanamthitta district, India
Kakkad Hydro Electric Project is a power station in Pathanamthitta district that uses water from the Moozhiyar and Velluthode rivers to generate electricity. The facility operates two turbines that work together to supply power across Kerala state.
The power station began operating in the late 1990s when both turbine units started working in succession. It was built as part of Kerala's effort to expand electrical generation capacity.
The station represents an important development in Kerala's infrastructure, enhancing electrical supply capabilities across the Pathanamthitta region and surrounding communities.
The station sits in a hilly forested region and can be reached by road through nearby villages. Visitors should be prepared for winding roads and rural terrain.
Water released from this facility flows into a river that feeds other power stations downstream in the same river system. This creates a connected chain of hydroelectric plants sharing the same water source.
