Clarence Cannon: FAQ

Where is Clarence Cannon?
In Ralls 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 Clarence Cannon?
58 MW of nameplate capacity across 2 units, as of the EIA-860M release for 2026-07.
Who owns Clarence Cannon?
EIA-860M names USCE-St Louis District 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 Clarence Cannon LLC?
Probably, but EIA-860M does not say. The survey records a plant name and a reporting entity — USCE-St Louis District 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 "Clarence Cannon LLC" usually means this site. This page shows only what EIA files, and does not assert a corporate structure it cannot see.
Is Clarence Cannon still running?
EIA-860M files it as "Operating" for 2026-07. Statuses change monthly, and this page follows the monthly release.
