Where is Caterpillar?

In Tippecanoe County, Indiana (IN). 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 Caterpillar?

10 MW of nameplate capacity across 5 units, as of the EIA-860M release for 2026-07.

Who owns Caterpillar?

EIA-860M names Caterpillar Inc 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 Caterpillar LLC?

Probably, but EIA-860M does not say. The survey records a plant name and a reporting entity — Caterpillar Inc 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 "Caterpillar LLC" usually means this site.

Is Caterpillar still running?
