This 32.36-metre-high dam made of concrete has a width of 284 meters. The powerhouse is at Karimanal, near Neriamangalam, where three generators are installed with a power production capacity of 60 MW each, or a cumulative 180 MW. The Dam was completed in the year 1998 <ref>{{Cite web|title=LOWER PERIYAR DAM – KSEB Limted Dam Safety Organisation|url=https://dams.kseb.in/?p=150|access-date=2021-07-07|language=en-US}}</ref> Taluks through which release flow are [[Idukki district|Idukki]], [[Kothamangalam]], [[Muvattupuzha Taluk|Muvattupuzha]], [[Kunnathunad|Kunnathunadu]], [[Aluva]], [[Kodungallur|Kodungalloor]] and [[Paravur Taluk|Paravur]].
