## Data quality

- Capacity figures use different measurement bases: EIA reports 1,061.5 MW of total nameplate capacity including the emergency generator, while I&M describes 870 MW of natural-gas generation, the Ohio Power Siting Board describes a 960 MW facility, and CME describes an 869 MW project with higher peak-capacity figures. The approximately $856 million project cost and the later debt facilities are not interchangeable with sale consideration. I&M's 2026 acquisition table shows a $918 million amount alongside the Oregon Plant, but the reviewed excerpt does not identify that figure as purchase consideration; no separately stated sale price was found. The reviewed plant records show all four units operational and no planned units; no documented post-commissioning expansion, retirement, or repowering was identified. The generator records also report no completed uprate or derate.
