Marshall Dam: FAQ

Where is Marshall Dam?
In Madison County, North Carolina (NC). 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 Marshall Dam?
5 MW of nameplate capacity across 2 units, as of the EIA-860M release for 2026-07.
Who owns Marshall Dam?
EIA-860M names Duke Energy Progress - (NC) 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 Marshall Dam LLC?
Probably, but EIA-860M does not say. The survey records a plant name and a reporting entity — Duke Energy Progress - (NC) 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 "Marshall Dam LLC" usually means this site. This page shows only what EIA files, and does not assert a corporate structure it cannot see.
Is Marshall Dam still running?
