Stony Gorge: FAQ

Where is Stony Gorge?
In Glenn 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 Stony Gorge?
5 MW of nameplate capacity across 2 units, as of the EIA-860M release for 2026-07.
Who owns Stony Gorge?
EIA-860M names City of Santa Clara - (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 Stony Gorge LLC?
Probably, but EIA-860M does not say. The survey records a plant name and a reporting entity — City of Santa Clara - (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 "Stony Gorge LLC" usually means this site. This page shows only what EIA files, and does not assert a corporate structure it cannot see.
