Kakkad Hydro Electric Project, Hydroelectric power station in Pathanamthitta district, India

The Kakkad Hydro Electric Project harnesses water from Moozhiyar and Velluthode rivers through two 25-megawatt turbines to generate electrical power for Kerala state.

The power station commenced operations in stages during 1999, with Unit 1 starting on July 23 and Unit 2 following on September 2.

The station represents an important development in Kerala's infrastructure, enhancing electrical supply capabilities across the Pathanamthitta region and surrounding communities.

Located 37 kilometers from district headquarters, visitors can access the power station through roads connecting Vadasserikara and Chittar to the Seethathode area.

The facility uses tail race water from Sabarigiri power station and releases its output into Kakkad River for subsequent power generation at Ullunkal and Karikkayam stations.
