Caney River Wind Project: FAQ
- Where is Caney River Wind Project?
- In Elk County, Kansas (KS). 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 Caney River Wind Project?
- EIA-860M names Caney River Wind Project 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 Caney River Wind Project LLC?
- Probably, but EIA-860M does not say. The survey records a plant name and a reporting entity — Caney River Wind Project 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 "Caney River Wind Project LLC" usually means this site. This page shows only what EIA files, and does not assert a corporate structure it cannot see.
