When Meta selected a site in Louisiana for its largest data center to date, it signed a deal with Entergy to power the site with three massive natural gas power plants. Yesterday evening, a state regulator approved Entergy’s plans.

The Louisiana Public Service Commission voted 4-1 to approve Entergy’s plan to build three natural gas power plants for Meta’s $800M data center in Richland Parish

This approval facilitates enhancements to the state’s electric grid, benefiting customers and preparing for future energy demands.
