The power plant will be owned and operated by [[Uttar Pradesh Rajya Vidyut Utpadan Nigam]]. Earlier the plant was supposed to be owned and operated by Sangam Power Generation Company, a subsidiary of the [[Jaypee Group]] but it backed-out due to land acquisition related issues.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/lucknow/up-government-to-install-four-power-plants/articleshow/37977933.cms|title=UP government to install four power plants &#124; Lucknow News - Times of India|website=The Times of India}}</ref><br />
