Why capacity and output differ: field note ↗

Ownership & operation

Ownership basisHow a generator's owners were established: from EIA-860's ownership schedule (reported), from EIA's rule that a unit absent from a complete schedule is wholly owned by its operator (derived), or unknown.Definition ↗
  • OperatorThe organization that runs a plant. It may have different owners.Definition ↗Frederickson Power LP
  • OwnerAn organization with a reported share of a generator. Owned MW applies that share to operating nameplate capacity; it does not establish who buys the output.Definition ↗ Independent power producerCapital Power

Who is behind the owners

curated 2026-09-22 · MW

Physical capacity once (operating nameplate MW); each direct owner's share and owned MW on its existing basis; up each curated chain, exposure = MW below x the stated hop share, so it exists only while every hop is stated. MW stays at the last stated entity where a filing states control without a share. Direct MW and parent MW are two views of the same capacity and are never added together.

Capacity 318.3 MW operating, counted once. A parent's exposure is its share of the same MW its subsidiary owns, not additional MW.

Operator: Frederickson Power LP. Owners: Capital Power, Puget Sound Energy. Who sells the output to customers: Who sells this plant's output to customers is a supply relationship (a contract, a portfolio claim or a disclosure), not an ownership share; an owner may sell its share wholesale, and a utility may serve customers from plants it does not own. Filed claims on this plant's output, where Washington's fuel-mix disclosure has any, appear in their own section.

Direct owners of the two operating generators (FICT, FIST) in the 2024 inventory (EIA-860 Schedule 4): Puget Sound Energy 49.85 percent and Capital Power Corporation 50.15 percent of each. Both owners' own filings state the same interest: Puget Energy and PSE FY2025 Form 10-K, Item 1 Electric Generation Resources ("Frederickson Unit 1 (49.85% interest)", 136 MW net maximum capacity) and Note 6 Utility Plant, jointly owned generating plants table (49.85 percent); Capital Power 2025 AIF p. 37 (50.15 percent undivided interest, tenants in common). Chosen as the second plant because every hop is stated in a filing fetched on 2026-09-22: PSE's chain is already curated for Colstrip and Capital Power is itself listed (TSX: CPX). The runner-up, Hermiston (plant:eia:54761), has a co-owner whose own FERC filing states control by Sumitomo Corporation without a share (accession 20260731-5362), so its second chain would stop at the first hop. No transfer after the inventory year: Capital Power's acquisition closed 2023-12-28. Since 2025-10-01 PSE tolls the other share (PSE 10-K Note 9 Leases: a tolling agreement for a 132.5 MW natural gas combined cycle facility commenced October 1, 2025; AIF p. 37: PSE's tolling agreement active from October 2025 to October 2030), a supply relationship that changes no share. EIA-860 names Frederickson Power LP as operator; neither filing assigns the operator role, and the role is not an ownership share. Nameplate here (192.0 + 126.3 MW) differs from the AIF's 265 MW and PSE's 136 MW net figures, each on its own basis Curation and sources

CO2 filed by EPA-monitored unitsAn EPA emissions unit (a combustor or stack) with CEMS rows in the year, linked to EIA generators through the EPA-EIA crosswalk. A plant is fully monitored when every existing coal, gas, oil or waste generator is linked to one; otherwise its monitored CO2 is shown but never as the plant's total.Definition ↗

1 monitored unit covering 2 of 2 combustion generators, 318.3 of 318.3 MW. 100.0% of operating unit-hours carry EPA’s measured flag; the rest are substitute dataHours a unit filled under Part 75 missing-data procedures instead of a monitor reading; EPA flags each hour Measured, Substitute or Measured and Substitute. Substitute values are designed to err high. The atlas counts these hours, and a plant's CO2 fact is metered only when at least 99 percent of its operating unit-hours were measured.Definition ↗.

A parent chain is what the owner's own filing states on the cited page, read on the checked date: a share is published only where the filing gives a percentage or says wholly owned, and a filing that states control without a percentage leaves the share null and stops the arithmetic there. Parent-attributed MW is a share of the same physical capacity as the direct owner's MW and is never added to it. Holders above 5 percent of a listed company are in its proxy statement and are not curated. A plant without a reviewed row has no chain, not no parent.
