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.

During the closing preseason matchup between the New Orleans Saints and the Denver Broncos, lineworker Zane Matthews was honored as “Lineman of the Game” for his hard work and dedication to his job.

The Louisiana Public Service Commission, or LPSC, has approved a landmark agreement that paves the way for Entergy Louisiana to move forward with major infrastructure investments tied to Meta’s new data center in Richland Parish. The approval clears the path for significant enhancements to the state’s electric grid that will benefit all Entergy Louisiana customers and prepare the system for future energy needs.

Entergy is proud to invest in the future of higher education by awarding $5,000 scholarships to nine outstanding students attending Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) in Arkansas. Through the Power of Prosperity program, Entergy seeks to help remove barriers to students’ academic success by providing free access to financial assistance and resources to the institution supporting the student.

As summer temperatures drive up electricity use, Entergy Texas is partnering with local nonprofits to provide $100,000 in emergency bill assistance to qualified older adults and individuals with disabilities through its Power to Care program.
