'''Chembukadavu''' is a village situated near to [[Thiruvambady]] and [[Kodanchery]] in Kozhikode district of Kerala. [[Thusharagiri Falls]] is near to here. The '''Chembukadavu Dam project I''' in [[Kozhikode]], [[North Kerala]], [[India]] is the first of the string of 14 small [[hydroelectric]] projects undertaken by the Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB), in collaboration with Hang Tso International Centre in [[China]].It is located about 50&nbsp;km east of [[Kozhikode]] in the foothills of [[Western ghats]]<br />
<br />
In the first phase, the 2.7 MW mini hydroelectric project is expected to yield 6.59 million units. Without using a reservoir, the water in the Chaliya river is channeled through a weir, tanks, and pipes to a powerhouse to generate electricity. The first four out of the 14, Chembukadavu I, Chembukadavu II, Urumi I and Urumi II will be commissioned by the end the year,. Chemukadavu I and Chembukadavu II have warranted an investment of Rs 11.38 crore and Rs 12.72 crore and are envisaged to yield 6.59 million units and 9.03 million units respectively.<br />

UNIDO's setting up of its regional small hydroelectric power base in Thiruvananthapuram has enhanced Kerala's investment potential in the cost-effective small hydroelectric power. The contribution of the UNIDO's southern hub will primarily be in planning and in facilitating soft loans for mini hydel power projects.<ref name="Chembukadu project">{{cite book|last=Kerala|title=Hydel Project|publisher=Financial Express|url=http://www.financialexpress.com/news/hydel-power-project-with-chinese-knowhow-goes-on-stream-in-kerala/87023/2}}</ref> <br />
