Bear Creek Solar Center: FAQ
- Where is Bear Creek Solar Center?

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