## Data quality

- The exact plant is identified by EIA plant ID 56634, FERC docket EG09-26, NYISO node CANDIGU_WT_PWR, and an 87.5 MW nameplate capacity. Some contemporary and secondary sources refer to a 125 MW Cohocton project or a 50-turbine project. Official New York records distinguish the exact 87.5 MW Cohocton project (owned by CPP, later New York Wind, LLC) from the separate 37.5 MW Dutch Hill project (owned by CPP II). No retirement or permanent shutdown is documented; official regulatory and plant records describe the facility as operating through the available record. However, New York PSC records distinguish CPP (87.5 MW Cohocton) from CPP II (37.5 MW Dutch Hill). The exact identity relationship requires care to avoid conflating the two separate facilities.
