Little Bear 5: FAQ
- Where is Little Bear 5?
- In Fresno County, California (CA). The map on this page is placed at the coordinates EIA files for the plant, which locate the site rather than any individual unit.

- Who owns Little Bear 5?
- EIA-860M names Little Bear Solar 5, LLC (Longroad) 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 Little Bear 5 LLC?
- Probably, but EIA-860M does not say. The survey records a plant name and a reporting entity — Little Bear Solar 5, LLC (Longroad) 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 "Little Bear 5 LLC" usually means this site. This page shows only what EIA files, and does not assert a corporate structure it cannot see.
