Entergy Louisiana confirmed a new, $10 billion Meta AI data center is the motive behind its recent filing to build three new gas plants at a combined 2.3 GW.

The Louisiana PSC has taken first steps to consider Entergy’s request to power a proposed $5 billion AI data center in north Louisiana with $3.2 billion in mostly natural gas generation.

South Dakota’s Kristie Fiegen and North Dakota’s Randy Christmann have been reelected to their respective states' regulatory commissions, ensuring their future involvement on SPP’s Regional State Committee.

Entergy promoted its Hurricane Beryl response alongside a pair of pending settlements with Louisiana regulators over rates and the Grand Gulf Nuclear Station during a second quarter earnings call.

MISO’s $25 billion, mostly 765-kV long-range transmission package for the Midwest region is nearing finalization, while the Independent Market Monitor continues to doubt the necessity of the projects.

Clean energy nonprofits continued to try to persuade Entergy and MISO South state commissioners to embrace a broader view of cost allocation for an upcoming long-range transmission portfolio the RTO intends for the subregion.

MISO announced it was unable to land on a suitable substitute for a $260 million Entergy Louisiana reliability project about eight months after it announced an alternatives study.

The Louisiana PSC voted 3-2 to approve Entergy Louisiana’s hotly debated, $1.9 billion grid hardening proposal to be funded by ratepayers, four days after the utility submitted it.

Entergy will pay its Arkansas affiliate $142.3 million in the latest settlement in the ongoing billing disputes over the utility’s Grand Gulf Nuclear Station.
