To support this, Entergy plans to build new natural gas power plants and upgrade transmission lines, with approval to construct 3 new generators. There are concerns about the impact on local power bills, but Entergy assures that Meta will pay its share, and residents in Shreveport and Bossier City, powered by a different company, will not be affected.
