Is Appalachian Power the owner of these plants?

EIA-860M names one reporting entity per generator. That entity operates the plant on the survey; ownership can sit with a parent, a partnership or a tax-equity structure that the form does not record.

Why are affiliates listed separately?

Because EIA files them separately. Rolling subsidiaries into a parent would need an ownership map EIA-860M does not publish, so this page does not invent one.
