D B Wilson: FAQ
- Where is D B Wilson?

- How big is D B Wilson?
- 509 MW of nameplate capacity across 1 unit, as of the EIA-860M release for 2026-07.
- Who owns D B Wilson?
- EIA-860M names Big Rivers Electric Corp 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 D B Wilson LLC?
- Probably, but EIA-860M does not say. The survey records a plant name and a reporting entity — Big Rivers Electric Corp 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 "D B Wilson LLC" usually means this site. This page shows only what EIA files, and does not assert a corporate structure it cannot see.
