Lanchester Generating Station: FAQ
- Where is Lanchester Generating Station?
- In Lancaster County, Pennsylvania (PA). 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 Lanchester Generating Station?
- EIA-860M names Energy Developments, Inc d/b/a EDL as the reporting entity. That is the operator of record on the survey, which is not always the ultimate owner.
- Is this the same as Lanchester Generating Station LLC?
- Probably, but EIA-860M does not say. The survey records a plant name and a reporting entity — Energy Developments, Inc d/b/a EDL here — not the project company that holds the asset. Project companies are commonly registered as an LLC carrying the plant's name, so a search for "Lanchester Generating Station LLC" usually means this site. This page shows only what EIA files, and does not assert a corporate structure it cannot see.
