R M Schahfer: FAQ

Where is R M Schahfer?
In Jasper County, Indiana (IN). The map on this page is placed at the coordinates EIA files for the plant, which locate the site rather than any individual unit.
How big is R M Schahfer?

Who owns R M Schahfer?
EIA-860M names Northern Indiana Pub Serv Co 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 R M Schahfer LLC?
Probably, but EIA-860M does not say. The survey records a plant name and a reporting entity — Northern Indiana Pub Serv Co 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 "R M Schahfer LLC" usually means this site. This page shows only what EIA files, and does not assert a corporate structure it cannot see.
Is R M Schahfer still running?
