S B Khyalia, Chief Executive Officer, Adani Power, said, "We are happy to have won the competitive bid to supply 1,500 MW power to UP state and feel privileged to play a leading role in meeting the state’s rapidly growing power demand. We plan to set up a modern and low-emission Ultra-supercritical plant in UP and aim to begin supplying reliable and high-quality power by FY30."

Khyalia said Adani Power would invest $2 billion in setting up the plant and related infrastructure. The project is expected to generate direct and indirect employment of 8,000-9,000 during the construction phase and 2,000 once in operation.

This is the second major PSA bid the company has won in the last year, after receiving the composite 6,600 MW (1600 MW thermal and 5000 MW solar) LoI from Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Ltd (MSEDCL) in September 2024, which subsequently has been converted into a PSA.
