R M Heskett: FAQ
- Where is R M Heskett?

- Who owns R M Heskett?

- Probably, but EIA-860M does not say. The survey records a plant name and a reporting entity — Montana-Dakota Utilities Co 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 "R M Heskett LLC" usually means this site. This page shows only what EIA files, and does not assert a corporate structure it cannot see.
