Ampirical Solutions, a long-standing engineering and grid services partner to Entergy Louisiana, is expanding its headquarters and plans to add 175 new high-wage technical jobs. This growth is described as deepening Louisiana’s energy workforce and accelerating grid and data center projects. Entergy Louisiana CEO Phillip May stated that Meta’s planned Richland Parish data center is expected to require 4,500 megawatts of electricity, nearly four times the peak demand of New Orleans, with usage remaining near that level almost continuously.
