Entergy Mississippi customers in Grenada County are now being served by a more reliable transmission grid. The company recently completed a $33-million project to support power load growth in Grenada’s industrial corridor. The project includes a new substation, 2 miles of transmission lines and 3 miles of distribution lines.

Entergy Louisiana has officially broken ground on the Smalling Substation, a major piece of grid infrastructure that will connect Meta’s newest and largest data center, currently under construction in Richland Parish. Funded by Meta in its entirety, the substation will play a central role in delivering electricity to the $10 billion facility, which spans more than 4-million square feet and represents one of the largest private investments in Louisiana history.

Local contract partners help complete construction safely, ahead of schedule.
