Sierra Pacific Burney Facility: FAQ

Where is Sierra Pacific Burney Facility?
In Shasta County, California (CA). The map on this page is placed at the coordinates EIA files for the plant, which locate the site rather than any individual unit.

Who owns Sierra Pacific Burney Facility?

Is this the same as Sierra Pacific Burney Facility LLC?

Project companies are commonly registered as an LLC carrying the plant's name, so a search for "Sierra Pacific Burney Facility LLC" usually means this site. This page shows only what EIA files, and does not assert a corporate structure it cannot see.
