Entergy to invest $37B to meet Electricity Demands

Entergy plans to invest $37 billion through 2028 to expand clean energy capacity, strengthen grid resilience and support rapid industrial growth in Louisiana and across its other service areas in the Gulf South.
Industrial sales alone are expected to grow by 12% to 13% annually, with nearly 60% of that growth coming from large data center customers. The company has already announced major data center projects with Meta in Louisiana and Amazon in Mississippi.
To meet growing energy demand, Entergy is also investing in new natural gas plants. Projects such as the Delta Blues Advanced Power Station in Mississippi and the Orange County Advanced Power Station in Texas are currently under construction.
The company says it operates one of the cleanest large-scale power generation fleets in the nation and plans to add more than 5,000 megawatts of solar capacity by 2028. Recent additions to Entergy’s renewables portfolio include five new solar facilities across Arkansas and Louisiana, which contribute over 700 megawatts of clean energy.

Sounds like our rates are going up

In other news, Entergy plans to find a way to make you pay for those “improvements” for their industrial clients. Probably team up with the weather channel to start charging a recovery fee for every weather system the weather channel names.

I, for one, look forward to another line item charge on the Entergy bill

Of course. They'll go up regardless of what happens.

By "invest 37 billion" do they mean charge is 37 billion more

Pet peeve:
Watt = power ( instantaneous)
Watt-hour = energy
Watt = power ( instantaneous)
Watt-hour = energy

I'm sure they will do their best to bury it, shouldn't be hard given all the extra crap on there now.
They've got a great business model though, 100% profit, why pay for damages, upgrades, etc when you can soak the customers for it instead.

So which plants are they expanding? That would be useful to know.

normal regulated monopoly stuff. It's the same everywhere.

Entergy plans to raise rates and bills for customers in the mount of 37B

Oncor has been doing the same thing and unfortunately it means more high voltage power line construction. Our neighborhood spent a fair bit of cash and time fighting a 138kV line that would have ran just behind our neighborhood. So just a heads up there for everyone else in the sticks.

So complain about old infrastructure but also complain if any updates come near me.

Let me guess......deep tax cuts to get them to the state, a rate discount once they start operating, and a promise to offset infrastructure costs by passing it along to residential customers?
