The power station consists of two 1.6 MW generating units, which were commissioned in July 1988. [1] [2]
The Moragolla Dam is a planned hydroelectric dam in Moragolla, Sri Lanka. The dam is to be 35 m (115 ft) high and is planned to create the 1,980,000 m 3 (70,000,000 cu ft) Moragolla Reservoir with a maximum supply level at 548 m (1,798 ft) MSL . [ 1 ]
The dam created the Moragahakanda Reservoir, which has an active storage capacity of 521,000,000 m 3 (1.84 × 10 10 cu ft) of water, [12] at a surface elevation of 185 m (607 ft). [13] Two additional embankment saddle dams will also be built to contain the Moragahakanda Reservoir. The reservoir of the Kalu Ganga Dam will be linked via tunnel ...
The dam creates the relatively small Rantembe Reservoir, which has a catchment area of 3,118 km 2 (1,204 sq mi), and a total capacity of 21,000,000 m 3 (740,000,000 cu ft). Water from the reservoir is channelled through the dam through a steel penstock to power the two 26- megawatt turbines .
