- Who owns Wheatland Generating Facility?
- EIA-860M names Duke Energy Indiana, 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 Wheatland Generating Facility LLC?
- Probably, but EIA-860M does not say. The survey records a plant name and a reporting entity — Duke Energy Indiana, LLC here — not the project company that holds the asset.

This page shows only what EIA files, and does not assert a corporate structure it cannot see.
