Portside Energy: FAQ

Where is Portside Energy?
In Porter 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 Portside Energy?
61 MW of nameplate capacity across 2 units, as of the EIA-860M release for 2026-07.
Who owns Portside Energy?
EIA-860M names Primary Energy Recycling 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 Portside Energy LLC?
Probably, but EIA-860M does not say. The survey records a plant name and a reporting entity — Primary Energy Recycling 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 "Portside Energy LLC" usually means this site. This page shows only what EIA files, and does not assert a corporate structure it cannot see.
Is Portside Energy still running?
