Pallivasal is a village in Idukki district in the southwestern Indian state of Kerala.[3]
The first hydro-electric project in Kerala was established at Pallivasal during the reign of Maharajah Sree Chithira Thirunal Balarama Varma.[4]
The Pallivasal electric project was commissioned in 1940. The Kerala electricity transmission system also emerged in 1940 with a 66 kV line from Pallivasal to Thiruvananthapuram. Eight substations were commissioned in 1940.
