EIA-860M names Duke Energy Progress - (NC) 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 Blewett LLC?

Probably, but EIA-860M does not say. The survey records a plant name and a reporting entity — Duke Energy Progress - (NC) 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 "Blewett LLC" usually means this site. This page shows only what EIA files, and does not assert a corporate structure it cannot see.
