EIA-860M names City of Cushing - (OK) 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 Cushing LLC?

Probably, but EIA-860M does not say. The survey records a plant name and a reporting entity — City of Cushing - (OK) 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 "Cushing LLC" usually means this site.

Is Cushing still running?

EIA-860M files it as "Operating" for 2026-07. Statuses change monthly, and this page follows the monthly release.
