Buchanan (MI): FAQ

- Who owns Buchanan (MI)?

- Probably, but EIA-860M does not say. The survey records a plant name and a reporting entity — Indiana Michigan Power 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 "Buchanan (MI) LLC" usually means this site. This page shows only what EIA files, and does not assert a corporate structure it cannot see.
