- Who owns King City Peaking?
- EIA-860M names Calpine Corp-King City 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 King City Peaking LLC?
- Probably, but EIA-860M does not say. The survey records a plant name and a reporting entity — Calpine Corp-King City 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 "King City Peaking LLC" usually means this site.
