==Power plants==
===Past Transitions (6,810 MW)===

Erstwhile Uttar Pradesh State Electricity Board (UPSEB) transferred its thermal power stations among others to [[NTPC Limited]] against payment overdue. These power stations are;

* 1,550 MW [[Feroze Gandhi Unchahar Thermal Power Plant]] (Raebareli)
* 440 MW [[Tanda Thermal Power Station]] (Ambedkarnagar)

===Present Installations- (7133 MW)===
At present,{{as of|2014}} UPRVUNL is looking after generations of power of five thermal power plants located in different parts of Uttar Pradesh, with a total installed generation capacity of 4933 MW.

* [[Anpara Thermal Power Station]] 3830 MW
* [[Obra Thermal Power Station]] 1288 MW
* [[Panki Thermal Power Station]] 210 MW
* [[Parichha Thermal Power Station]] 1140 MW<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sarkaritel.com/bhel-commissions-250-mw-unit-5-at-parichha-thermal-power-project |title=BHEL commissions 250 MW Unit-5 at Parichha Thermal Power Project |publisher=sarkaritel.com |date=2012-05-29 |access-date=2012-06-27 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131225085916/http://www.sarkaritel.com/bhel-commissions-250-mw-unit-5-at-parichha-thermal-power-project |archive-date=25 December 2013 }}</ref>
* [[Harduaganj Thermal Power Station]] 665 MW<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sarkaritel.com/bhel-commissions-250-mw-unit-at-harduaganj-thermal-power-project |title=BHEL commissions 250 MW Unit at Harduaganj Thermal Power Project |publisher=sarkaritel.com |date=2012-06-07 |access-date=2012-06-27 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120731024733/http://www.sarkaritel.com/bhel-commissions-250-mw-unit-at-harduaganj-thermal-power-project |archive-date=31 July 2012 }}</ref>

Though installed capacity is 5933 MW but UPRVUNL is not able to utilize its full capacity ever due poor maintenance, lack of funds, aging plants & frequent units tripping.
