State and project comparison

Compare Louisiana data centers vs other states.

Start with Louisiana vs Texas incentives or Louisiana vs Mississippi investment, or compare Meta Hyperion vs Amazon. Then mix any tracked records, parishes, and operators. Cells show the public value or an explicit not-in-public-record state, keep the per-dimension source count visible, and never roll up into a composite score.

Transparent scenario tools

Edit the assumptions; read the arithmetic.

These calculators are input-driven sensitivity tools. Every default is a labeled assumption, every formula is shown, and every output is a scenario — not a factual determination about any project, parish, or taxpayer.

Taxable value / PILOT sensitivity

Edit the taxable value, millage, abatement share, and term to see the trade between abated payments and forgone revenue. Millage is a decimal rate (0.11 = 110 mills).

Taxable value ($M)Assumption default: $1,000MMillage rate (decimal)Assumption default: 0.11Abatement share (0–1)Assumption default: 0.45Term (years)Assumption default: 10 years

Gross annual tax: $110M / yr
Abated annual payment: $60.5M / yr
Annual abatement value: $49.5M / yr
Abatement value over term: $495M
Payments over term: $605M

Scenario — not a factual determination

Gross annual tax = taxable value × millage rate
Abated annual payment = gross annual tax × (1 − abatement %)
Annual abatement value = gross annual tax − abated annual payment
Term totals = annual figures × term years

Power ramp scenario

Edit contracted MW, ramp years, and curtailment to see implied annual deliverable energy. Ramp years assume a linear ramp at 50% average load.

Contracted MWAssumption default: 500 MWRamp yearsAssumption default: 3 yearsCurtailment share (0–1)Assumption default: 0.05

Steady-state annual energy: 4,380,000 MWh
Deliverable after curtailment: 4,161,000 MWh / yr
Curtailed energy: 219,000 MWh / yr
Average per ramp year (50% linear assumption): 2,080,500 MWh / yr
Total over ramp period: 6,241,500 MWh

Scenario — not a factual determination

Steady-state annual energy = contracted MW × 8,760 hours
Deliverable annual energy = steady-state × (1 − curtailment %)
Curtailed energy = steady-state − deliverable
Ramp years assume a linear ramp: average 50% of deliverable energy per ramp year
