Capacity - 2MW

This is the power house situated at the highest level in Kerala at 1556 m above MSL and constructed in 1997-98 as Dam toe power house of Maduppetty Reservoir. The 2 MW generator generates at 11 kV and is connected to the 11 kV Tata feeder. The station uses horizontal shaft francis turbine. The 275 rpm turbine and 750 rpm generator are coupled through a speed increasing gear box. The discharged water from this power station is heading towards Ramaswamy Iyer headworks for further power production at Pallivasal Powerhouse. The annual Generation Capability of Maduppaty Power house is 6.40 MU. M/s Jyoti Ltd. Baroda-Gujarat has executed the project for Kerala State Electricity Board.
