(B) Shivasamudram

Shivasamudram holds the distinction of being the site of India's first hydro-electric power station which was built in 1902. It was set up mainly to supply power to the Kolar goldmines 147 km away, making the 78 KV transmission line which was the longest in the world at the time. Infact, when the Mettur darn in Tamil Nadu was being constructed in the 1930's, the power was supplied from Shivasamudram.
