The Nilambe Dam is a small hydroelectric dam build across the Nilambe River, measuring approximately 70m (230feet) in length. Water from the Nilambe Dam is transferred to the 3.2-megawatt Nilambe Power Station through a 2.81NaN1 penstock. The power station consists of two generating units, which were commissioned in July 1988.[1] [2]
