Capacity factor is average output vs. this plant's observed peak.
Observed ERCOT settlement prices at CHE_PUN1 over 365 days (2025-10-26 to 2026-10-25). This plant is also crosswalked to CVC_CVCG1_5, CVC_CVC_G2, CVC_CVC_G3, LHM_CVC_G4, LHM_PUN1, LHM_PUN2; the point with the deepest price history is shown.
The TB2 figure is a price benchmark, not revenue: it values one perfect-foresight cycle per day between the 2 cheapest and 2 dearest hours of each day, gross of round-trip losses, and excludes ancillary services and any physical dispatch constraint. It describes what this node’s price shape was worth over the window — it is not this asset’s realized capture, and no dispatch is assumed or modelled.
Portfolio membership follows the latest EIA-860 reporting entity. It does not imply ultimate ownership.
EIA reports June 2002 operating months for GT1, GT2, GT3, and ST1.
Cahill reported the term loan, revolver, and letter-of-credit facilities used to partially finance Elliott's majority acquisition.
ERCOT SCED disclosure is delayed, so plant performance windows end at the latest disclosed interval.
