The project activity is a hydroelectric project which utilizes the potential energy from a natural height drop of approximately 84m over a 12.8km stretch of the Rangit River. A diversion barrage, 108 m in length and 17m in height has been constructed which created a reservoir of approximately 14.489 ha. The flow is directed from the reservoir, through an intake tunnel on the east bank of the river, into head race tunnel, through a surge shaft and pressure shaft to the powerhouse. The powerhouse is house 2 x 48.75 MW vertical shaft type Francis turbines, that is coupled with synchronous generators of capacity 2 x 48 MW. The flow is discharged via a 40m tail race channel back into the Rangit River. The project components from the head race tunnel to the flow discharge is located underground.

The unit I of 48 MW was commissioned on 26/09/2015 and unit II of 48 MW was commissioned on 01/10/2015.
