## Data quality

- Fluor describes the project as a net 620-MW facility, while the FERC generator ratings total 714.9 MW; these are different rating bases and should not be treated as different plant identities. The $2.8 billion figure was consideration for Duke's broader Midwest generation portfolio and Ohio retail business, not a disclosed plant-level sale price or valuation for Washington Energy Facility. The facility was still reported as operating with three generators and generation in 2026; no separate expansion or repowering milestone is identified in the cited history.
