Power Plants

This power generation project consists of three power plants totaling to a generating capacity of 90MW. This project uses three Barrage type Dams constructed along the River Kaveri from which it gets the required water current.

  • Power Plant-I : Bhavani Kattalai Power Plant-I which consists of one powerhouse located between BP Agraharam in Erode district and Samayasangili in Namakkal district. A Barrage Dam has been constructed across Kaveri in this plant named as Samayasangili Barrage. This plant has a production capacity of 30MW using two turbines of 15MW each.[2]
  • Power Plant-II : Bhavani Kattalai Power Plant-II which consists of one powerhouse located between Vendipalayam in Erode district and Odapalli in Namakkal district. The Barrage Dam in this plant named as Vendipalayam Barrage. This plant with a production capacity of 30MW using two turbines of 15MW each has been commissioned in 2011.[3][4][5]
  • Power Plant-III : Bhavani Kattalai Power Plant-III which consists of one powerhouse located between Pasur in Erode district and Solasiramani in Namakkal district. Solasiramani Barrage plant has a production capacity of 30MW with two turbines each of 15MW capacity.[6][7][8]
