Centerville PH: FAQ

Where is Centerville PH?
In Butte 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.
How big is Centerville PH?
6 MW of nameplate capacity across 2 units, as of the EIA-860M release for 2026-07.
Who owns Centerville PH?
EIA-860M names Pacific Gas & Electric 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 Centerville PH LLC?
Probably, but EIA-860M does not say. The survey records a plant name and a reporting entity — Pacific Gas & Electric 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 "Centerville PH LLC" usually means this site. This page shows only what EIA files, and does not assert a corporate structure it cannot see.
Is Centerville PH still running?
EIA-860M files it as "Out of service and NOT expected to return to service in next calendar year" for 2026-07. Statuses change monthly, and this page follows the monthly release.
