Kankakee Solar 3: FAQ
- Where is Kankakee Solar 3?
- In Kankakee County, Illinois (IL). 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 Kankakee Solar 3?

- Probably, but EIA-860M does not say. The survey records a plant name and a reporting entity — Pivot Energy 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 "Kankakee Solar 3 LLC" usually means this site. This page shows only what EIA files, and does not assert a corporate structure it cannot see.
