Entergy Louisiana plays a significant role in fostering economic growth across the state. The Louisiana 100 Plan gives us the opportunity to set an ambitious goal to boost the Louisiana economy by attracting $100 billion in new industrial projects over the next 10 years. Why are we so confident we can reach this bold target? Because Louisiana has what businesses and industries need most: reliable, affordable energy.
Energy reliability is fundamental to modern business. When the power goes out, even for a short time, factories stop production, servers crash and shops close their doors.
That’s why companies like Meta and Hyundai have decided to build or expand in Louisiana: Because they know they can count on low, predictable energy costs and a utility committed to keeping the lights on. Stability that gives businesses the confidence to invest, hire and grow. With some of the lowest rates in the country.
But this plan isn’t just about energy, it’s about diversifying Louisiana’s economy. By attracting new projects and supporting existing businesses, we’re building a stronger, more balanced economy that can weather market shifts and seize new opportunities. And all of our customers benefit when the communities we serve prosper.
New industrial projects don’t just help big companies—they help the people and communities of Louisiana directly through:
- Construction jobs at the start and long-term positions for operations and maintenance, while also boosting jobs in manufacturing, logistics and professional services.
- Steady revenue from leases or royalties for landowners who host projects.
- New customers and higher household incomes that lead to more spending at local businesses.
- A larger property-tax base that gives local governments more funds for schools, roads, and public services.
- Community benefit agreements that help fund programs like River Parishes Community College’s workforce training center that provides access and training needed to equip residents with the skills required to seize a new career.
The Louisiana 100 Plan is more than a short-term boost. It’s a long-term strategy to build a resilient and competitive economy that can compete globally and thrive for generations. It’s a commitment to all of our customers, to our home state. By keeping energy affordable, investing in world-class infrastructure, and partnering with local leaders, Entergy Louisiana is turning our natural advantages into lasting prosperity.
