- Planned retirement has moved to 12/2028. EIA's 'Inventory of Operating Generators as of August 2026' gives 12/2028 for this unit, not the 12/2027 this edition of the Electric Power Monthly printed. 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 12/2027 above stays provable against this page's own archived Electric Power Monthly issue. our reading
