## Data quality

- The EIA plant record supplied in the anchor (101.2 MW) differs materially from the official project website statement (111.8 MW). The official project source directly represents Eight Point Wind's stated capacity and is corroborated by detailed turbine specifications (19 × 5.0 MW + 6 × 2.5 MW = 110–111.8 MW). No post-construction repowering or modification is documented. The discrepancy may reflect timing of EIA data collection or methodology; the 111.8 MW figure is treated as the correct operational capacity. The supplied candidate research includes two sets of turbine data. The EIA record identifies a predominant model as GE 5.5-158 with 25 turbines. Third-party equipment databases and the DPS regulatory petition describe 19 Siemens 5.0 MW and 6 GE Vernova 2.5-127 turbines. The regulatory petition and official project site confirm the 25-turbine, modified design with the two turbine types listed. The 5.5-158 designation in the EIA record may reflect a preliminary or averaged model code; the actual installed configuration is documented as Siemens 5.0 MW and GE Vernova 2.5-127. No financial agreements (power purchase agreements, offtake contracts, service agreements) for Eight Point Wind are identified in the candidate research. The portfolio-level financing structures are documented but are not equivalent to project-specific debt or offtake contracts. This absence is not proof of non-existence. A 49% ownership structure is reported by NEP as of December 2025. The exact beneficial ownership of the remaining 51% is not fully disclosed in the candidate research. The asset identity is unambiguous: EIA plant ID 66052, New York DPS case 16-F-0062, located at 761 Town Line Road, Rexville/Greenwood area, Steuben County, New York, operated by Eight Point Wind, LLC.
