The company is a subsidiary of Iran Power Plant Investment Company otherwise known as Sana (LLP). Sana holds 72 percent of the company shares while Farab and Saba Power and Energy Company hold 25 and 3 percent respectively. The power plant project was planned for two phases, "each with a capacity of 484 mW including two V94.2 gas units and single steam unit as combined cycle block and with a total investment of €560 million." Sana states on their website that the first phase was planned to become operational in 2018.
