## Data quality

- Project sources describe the facility as nominally 1,000 MW, while EIA-based plant data lists 1,033.7 MW of nameplate capacity. EIA-based operating data lists three operational units and zero planned units as of the current record; no separate expansion, retirement, or repowering milestone is documented in the cited history.
