Ripon Generation Station: FAQ

- 121 MW of nameplate capacity across 2 units, as of the EIA-860M release for 2026-07.
- Who owns Ripon Generation Station?

- Is this the same as Ripon Generation Station LLC?
- Probably, but EIA-860M does not say. The survey records a plant name and a reporting entity — Modesto Irrigation District here — not the project company that holds the asset.
