The Paliasal Power House is the first power project in Kerala and was inaugurated in 1940.Though it was started as a 200kv installation in 1928 by the Kannan Devan Hill Produce Co., the plant’s capacity was later upgraded to meet the increasing demand for power in Kerala. Currently the power station houses 6 generators and its capacity is 37.5 MW with up gradation currently underway to increase the capacity to 60 MW.
