How big is Red Bluff?

46 MW of nameplate capacity across 16 units, as of the EIA-860M release for 2026-07.

EIA-860M names California Power Holdings LLC 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 Red Bluff LLC?

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

Is Red Bluff still running?

EIA-860M files it as "Operating" for 2026-07. Statuses change monthly, and this page follows the monthly release.
