- Already retired. EIA's Form 860M now lists this unit under 'Inventory of Retired Generators as of August 2026', with a retirement of 8/2026 -- the month this page prints as a plan, which has since happened. Read on 2026-10-16 from https://www.eia.gov/electricity/data/eia860m/xls/august_generator2026.xlsx, the 860M file EIA replaces every month, because EIA had not yet archived a permanent copy for August 2026. That path will hold a later month by the time you follow it; the 8/2026 above stays provable against this page's own archived Electric Power Monthly issue. our reading
