The plain-English control page for Louisiana Public Service Commission dockets tied to AI data center load, Entergy generation, transmission, customer agreements, and ratepayer protection.
Source status comes from the LPSC public docket details pages and linked official filings. Open dockets are not treated as approved until the LPSC posts an order or certification decision.
The four LouisianAI control dockets are U-37425 for Meta Hyperion Phase 1, U-37882 for Meta Hyperion Phase 2 / Project Evest, U-37853 for Entergy's Waterford 6 and Westlake generation request, and X-37921 for the LPSC large-load guidelines repository.
Meta Hyperion appears in U-37425 for Phase 1 and U-37882 for the expansion also described as Evest LLC or Project Evest. U-37425 has an approved settlement; U-37882 remained open in the LPSC docket details page as of May 15, 2026.
The dockets are the public control surface for that question. They show the utility's proposed customer agreement, cost recovery, collateral, contract term, and intervenor positions, but some customer-specific MW and agreement terms can be redacted.

This is the first Meta Hyperion power docket. It approved the initial generation and transmission package needed to serve Meta's Richland Parish campus.
This is the Meta expansion docket. Entergy describes the package as seven additional gas combined-cycle plants totaling more than 5,200 MW, roughly 240 miles of 500 kV transmission, storage, nuclear uprates, and up to 2,500 MW of Meta-funded renewables.
This docket is not a single-customer Meta docket. It covers Entergy's request to build Waterford 6 and Westlake generation resources that sit in the broader Louisiana large-load power stack.
This is the public repository for the LPSC's large-load guidelines. It is the framework used to evaluate expedited filings like U-37882.
LouisianAI uses this page to normalize docket numbers, aliases, source links, and ratepayer questions. For underwriting, cite the LPSC docket or primary document directly and treat LouisianAI as an independent index.
