## Data quality

- Project and operator materials generally describe the facility as 940 MW, while the EPA regulatory record reports 962 MW of gross winter output; these are different capacity bases rather than evidence of two separate plants. The separate Trumbull Energy Center, completed next to the Lordstown facility in 2026, is excluded from this history.
