## Data quality

- The anchor data identifies Bowline Point with 1,242 MW capacity and natural-gas steam-turbine technology. The candidate research confirms this and adds detail: Unit 1 has 578 MW nameplate (FERC filing: 575 MW) and Unit 2 has 567 MW nameplate (FERC filing: 562 MW). The discrepancies between nameplate and filing capacity do not block publication; they reflect different rating methodologies used by FERC and commercial vendors. No project financing terms are disclosed in the evidence. NYISO material from 2024–2025 labels Bowline 1 as retired under market rules, while other records describe Bowline Point as operating. This unit-level status discrepancy coexists with no plant-wide retirement date in the exact-asset evidence. The November 2023 transaction transferred upstream membership interests in GenOn Bowline Intermediate Holdings, LLC, not a direct conveyance of physical plant title. Both are used as supported in the source material. Bowline Point operates as a merchant generator and exempt wholesale generator under PUHCA 2005 with FERC market-based-rate authorization and has no captive utility customers.
