Kennett: FAQ

Where is Kennett?
In Dunklin County, Missouri (MO). The map on this page is placed at the coordinates EIA files for the plant, which locate the site rather than any individual unit.
How big is Kennett?

Who owns Kennett?

Is this the same as Kennett LLC?
Probably, but EIA-860M does not say. The survey records a plant name and a reporting entity — City of Kennett - (MO) 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 "Kennett LLC" usually means this site. This page shows only what EIA files, and does not assert a corporate structure it cannot see.
Is Kennett still running?
