## Data quality

- Reported project-cost figures are not sale consideration: the preliminary $675 million estimate excluded startup and financing costs, while another project source describes an $800 million plant. Capacity figures use different conventions: EIA generator nameplate capacity totals 1,113.6 MW, ODEC cites 980 MW, and ODEC’s 2018 filing reports a 940 MW net capacity entitlement. The September 14, 2018 transaction identified in ODEC’s filing was the sale of ODEC’s interest in the adjacent Rock Springs facility and related assets, not a sale of Wildcat Point. No post-commercial-operation expansion, repowering, or retirement milestone is reported for Wildcat Point through August 2, 2026; the plant remains listed as operating.
