Buzzard Flop: FAQ

- 8 MW of nameplate capacity across 3 units, as of the EIA-860M release for 2026-07.
- Who owns Buzzard Flop?

- Is this the same as Buzzard Flop LLC?
- Probably, but EIA-860M does not say. The survey records a plant name and a reporting entity — Peoples Electric Cooperative 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 "Buzzard Flop LLC" usually means this site.
