Strict adherence to the rule curve level fixed by the CWC helps KSEB in power generation
Strict adherence to the rule curve level fixed by the Central Water Commission (CWC) helped in tiding over a situation of a sudden release of heavy volume of water to the Periyar while keeping a very healthy storage for summer season in Idukki reservoir.
The largest hydroelectric project in the State is mainly reserved for power generation during the peak summer season when the demand escalates. A healthy storage during the end of the northeast monsoon would also mean a safe power generation in the coming summer when the State has to purchase power at a high prices from outside the State. The dam meets around 40% the power generation in the State.
