## Data quality

- The exact plant is distinguished by EIA plant ID 10617, FERC cogeneration docket 99-43-000, NYISO PTID 23633, the Beaver Falls address at 9644 Main St, Lewis County, New York, and the two-generator (GEN1/GEN2) combined-cycle configuration. Nameplate capacity is reported as 107.8 MW (65.5 MW GEN1 + 42.3 MW GEN2 per EIA 860) or 108 MW (rounded) in portfolio announcements. Historical project documents sometimes describe the original facility as 79 MW due to different capacity conventions and reporting dates; these represent the same physical asset. The Lotus/Starwood 2014 transaction did not disclose financial terms. The cited operating records show both generators operating and no completed uprate or derate. They do not identify a retirement or repowering event. The original Niagara Mohawk power purchase agreement was terminated in July 1997; electricity has been sold to wholesale customers under short-term contracts since then.
