## Data quality

- The exact-asset record is EIA plant 64481. Arlington Valley Solar Energy II is a separate, similarly named project and should not be merged with this facility. This directory uses the exact plant-64481 configuration supported by the PPA and generator records. No project-specific debt amount, tax-equity investor, lender, acquisition price, sale consideration, predecessor owner, or repowering event was disclosed in the reviewed public materials. The PPA contains generic financing provisions and blank lender placeholders rather than completed financing terms.
