The hydel tourism destinations under the Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB) will soon switch to green energy. Plans are afoot to deploy battery-operated boats in the major hydel tourism destinations in the State. A trial run of the battery-operated boat was held at the Mattupetty hydel tourism centre near Munnar in Idukki three days ago.
State Hydel Tourism Director Narendra Nath Veluri said the move was intended to make hydel tourism destinations environment-friendly. “The trial run at Mattupetty dam was a success,” he said.
