Description

Entergy Louisiana has expanded its power supply agreement with Meta to support a hyperscale data center in Richland Parish, Louisiana. The project includes the construction of seven natural gas-fueled combined-cycle power plants with a total capacity exceeding 5,200 megawatts, 386 kilometers of new 500kV transmission lines linking South Louisiana to North Louisiana and Arkansas, battery storage across three sites, and nuclear uprates. Meta will cover the full cost of the new infrastructure, which is expected to generate thousands of construction jobs from 2026 to 2031 and create permanent engineering, maintenance, and support roles. The project also includes commitments to renewable energy and energy efficiency initiatives.
