Entergy Louisiana certification of generation and transmission resources and other relief for Meta expansion
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.
Whether the expanded electric service agreement, collateral package, and asset end-of-term treatment make Meta pay the full cost of new generation, transmission, storage, and interconnection infrastructure.
It is the main docket behind queries for Project Evest, Meta Hyperion 5GW Louisiana, the Lightning Amendment, and whether Meta's expansion leaves any tail-end cost risk for ratepayers.
Track testimony, settlement posture, contested issues, intervention activity, and the eventual LPSC certification vote or order.
Open certification proceeding. The Commission's May 14, 2026 procedural order directs a schedule for Commission consideration at the December 16, 2026 Business and Executive Session. The published August 12 agenda separately lists Meta Platforms, Inc.'s Motion for Immediate Review of Interlocutory Ruling; that is an active procedural item, not a final certification decision.
Status comes from the LPSC public docket details page as of 2026-08-05. Open dockets are not treated as approved until the LPSC posts an order or certification decision.
