Climate action
We’re improving our power generation portfolio for a cleaner and more efficient future
To meet our region’s expanding industrial growth, Entergy is focused on transitioning to the cleaner energy resources our customers are asking for. To help customers reduce their own greenhouse gas emissions, we’re expanding our renewable generation. Plans call for more than 5,000 megawatts of solar power added in 2025 through 2028. We’re also investing in several new modern and efficient natural gas plants to help meet demand. We will work to mitigate the carbon emissions from any such new plants by equipping them with the option for hydrogen co-firing and/or carbon capture and storage, two technologies that are continuing to develop. And we’re actively exploring potential power upgrades and license extensions at our existing nuclear facilities in Arkansas, Louisiana and Mississippi. We are taking these actions to support our long-term goal of net-zero emissions by 2050.
Our progress on reducing our greenhouse gas emissions rate
U.S. average presented through 2023
On our path to net-zero carbon emissions, we’re investing in carbon-free and carbon-managed technologies. Opportunities for cleaner resources include those that exist today and those that are maturing. We intend to cease coal combustion by the end of 2030, unless future planning clearly shows that doing so will jeopardize reliability or affordability for our customers.
