Purpose: connect a named project's recorded output with its equipment,
delivery limit and dated forecasts. Keep adjacent facilities distinct.
1. Identity: plant name/code ____ generator IDs ____ owner/year ____
   Source file/version/date ____ EIA-860 record ____ EIA-923 record ____
2. Annual record (one line per consistent equipment configuration).
   Year | Net generation MWh | Chosen rating MW | Hours | Capacity factor
   ____ | __________________ | ________________ | _____ | _______________
   Rating basis: nameplate, capability or delivery limit? ____
   Leap year? ____ Mid-year capacity changes? ____
   Repowering/equipment dates and documents: ____
3. Capacity factor = net generation MWh / (constant rating MW x hours).
   For changing ratings, use a documented capacity-time denominator and
   explain the method; do not silently use the final year's rating.
4. Separate fields for forecast generation, measured generation, shared
   interconnection limits, curtailment, outages and wind conditions: ____
5. Local-benefit claim: forecast ____ dated payment evidence ____
   Emissions claim: system baseline/method ____ unresolved evidence ____

FICTIONAL EXAMPLE: 600,000 MWh / (200 MW x 8,760 h) = 34.2% rounded.
At a stated 10 MWh per household-year, the energy equivalence is 60,000
household-years. Continuous service requires adequate supply at each hour.
Source context: the article compares PNM's 2023 IRP and 2026 plan testimony.
They date repowering differently (2019 versus 2018); resolve project
milestones before assigning a precise commissioning date.
