Coldwater River Solar: FAQ

Where is Coldwater River Solar?

Who owns Coldwater River Solar?

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