Power generation
The dam is intended for hydroelectric
purposes and is part of Stage I of the
Ranganadi Hydro Electric Project and
supports the 405-megawatt (543,000 hp)
Dikrong Power House. The 68 m (223 ft)
tall dam diverts water south into a 10.1 km
(6.3 mi) headrace tunnel which is then
transferred into a 1,062 m (3,484 ft)
penstock before reaching the three 135
megawatts (181,000 hp) turbines.[1] Since
commissioning, the power house has been
generating much less than its capacity
because of drought.[2]

Stage II of the project is designed to

provide water storage for Stage I and
includes a 134 m (440 ft) rock-fill
embankment dam with a 523,000,000 m3
(1.85 × 1010 cu ft) storage capacity. This
dam will support an additional 180
megawatts (240,000 hp) power station.[3]
