Phillip May, president and CEO, Entergy Louisiana – Supporting strong protections for customers as state sets clear path for data center growth
Entergy has taken a prudent approach to balancing the Meta project’s benefits with significant protections for other Louisianians using the power grid.
Thank you to our customers for your patience, resilience and extraordinary sense of community. In the face of adversity, what shined brightest was how people cared for one another. We saw neighbors stepping in to help, families making room for others and communities lifting each other up. That kindness and generosity are the heart of North Louisiana, and we are proud to serve a region built on those values. Your spirit made a set of difficult circumstances more manageable and reminded us why these communities are so special.
An op-ed by Phillip May, president and CEO of Entergy Louisiana: With recent approval by the Louisiana Public Service Commission, Meta will soon join our grid. This allows Entergy Louisiana to build several new transmission and three new modern, efficient generation facilities in a way that not only serves Meta’s future data center but also strengthens reliability and resiliency across our service area and keeps rates low for all of our customers.
With the recent approval by the Louisiana Public Service Commission of the initial phase of our comprehensive resilience plan, Entergy Louisiana is poised to usher in a new era of grid reliability and economic prosperity.
