Category: About KSEB
| SABARIGIRI HYDRO ELECTRIC PROJECT | ||||||||||
| Sabarigiri Hydro Electric Project (IHEP) is the second largest hydro electric project in Kerala. The project was commissioned in 1966 with an installed capacity of 300 MW. The RMU of the Project was undertaken during the period from 2005 to 2009, increasing the installed capacity to 340 MW. | ||||||||||
| THE RESERVOIR | ||||||||||
| Two reservoirs contribute the water required for operation of the project. | ||||||||||
| PAMBA RESERVOIR | ||||||||||
| This reservoir is formed by the Pamda dam constructed across Pamba river. The water from this reservoir is flowing to the Kakki reservoir through an underground tunnel of length 3.21 km. | ||||||||||

| RMU works were undertaken in the Power Station from 2005 to 2009 . During renovation work unit No. 4 was also up rated to 55 MW and put into servoice on 11-2-2007. In a fire accident that happened 16-5-2008, unit No 4 was completely desrtroyed. The whole machine parts were dismantled and new machine was erected with an enhanced capacity of 60 MW on 6-5-2014 The unit No 4 Capacity of units 4 and 6 were enhanced by 10 MW each and all other units were enhanced by 5 MW. Thus the total installed capacity of the station is 340 MW. The new capacity rating and commissioning dates of renovated units are as below | ||||||||||

| KAKKAD HYDRO ELECTRIC PROJECT | ||||||||||
| Kakkad Hydro electric Project is the second stage development of Pamba river basin. The installed capacity is 50 MW (2 x 25MW). This scheme utilises the tail race water from Sabarigiri power station and flow received from moozhiyar and velluthode rivers. Two dams feed water to the powerhouse. The Moozhiyar Dam creates the main reservoir of this project. the second reservoir is formed by the Veluthodu dam, constructed across velluthode river.After power generation, water from Kakkad power station is released to the Kakkad River. This water is used for power generation at Ullumkal Power station ( IPP ) & Karikkayam Power station and flows into the Maniyar reservoir owned by Kerala Irrigation Department for power generation in the Maniyar power station, operated by M/s Carborandum Universal Ltd. | ||||||||||
