Narrows 2: FAQ

Where is Narrows 2?

How big is Narrows 2?

Who owns Narrows 2?
EIA-860M names Yuba County Water Agency - (CA) 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 Narrows 2 LLC?
Probably, but EIA-860M does not say. The survey records a plant name and a reporting entity — Yuba County Water Agency - (CA) 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 "Narrows 2 LLC" usually means this site. This page shows only what EIA files, and does not assert a corporate structure it cannot see.
