'''Bhavani Kattalai Hydroelectric Project''' is a [[hydropower]] generation project in the South Indian state of [[Tamil Nadu]]. It is a 90MW power generation project constructed across the [[Kaveri River]]. The project area is in the downstream of [[Lower Mettur Hydroelectric Project]]. This project consists of three power plants which are located between [[Bhavani, Erode|Bhavani]] and [[Pasur, Erode]]. This [[hydropower]] generation project is owned by [[Government of Tamil Nadu]] and operated by [[Tamil Nadu Green Energy Corporation Limited]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tangedco.gov.in/hydroerode.html|title=TNEB Hydro-generation - Erode|accessdate=22 December 2016|publisher=[[TNEB]]}}</ref>

==Power Plants==
This power generation project consists of three power plants totaling to a generating capacity of 90MW. This project uses three [[Barrage (dam)|Barrage]] type [[Dam]]s 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 [[power station|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.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://globalenergyobservatory.org/geoid/41243|title=Bhavani Kattalai-I Hydroelectric Power Plant|accessdate=22 December 2016|publisher=Global Energy Observatory}}</ref>
* '''Power Plant-II''' : Bhavani Kattalai Power Plant-II which consists of one powerhouse located between [[Solar, Erode|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.<ref>{{cite book|url=http://www.tangedco.gov.in/linkpdf/STATISTICAL%20DATA%20CARD%2012-13.pdf
