- Who owns Bluegrass Generating Station?
- EIA-860M names East Kentucky Power Coop, 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 Bluegrass Generating Station LLC?
- Probably, but EIA-860M does not say. The survey records a plant name and a reporting entity — East Kentucky Power Coop, Inc here — not the project company that holds the asset.
