Meta AI Data Center Power Plant Expansion

planned

Entergy is seeking fast-track approval from the Louisiana Public Service Commission to build seven new natural gas power plants to provide electricity for Meta's massive $27 billion artificial intelligence data center project in Richland Parish, Louisiana. The project includes ongoing construction of three new natural gas generating facilities and plans for seven additional plants to generate a total of 5,200 megawatts of power, which is 43% more than Entergy's current total production in Louisiana. Meta will cover all costs, ensuring no financial responsibility for other Entergy customers.
