Statewide AI policy in Louisiana is split across agency governance, education policy, utility dockets, and local permitting records. This hub keeps those controls connected without collapsing them into one synthetic narrative.
The statewide operating policy for responsible, ethical, and secure AI use by Louisiana executive-branch agencies under OTS authority.
Louisiana's statewide education-technology plan documents a five-pillar comprehensive AI plan, educator development, literacy guidance, and expansion of AI pilots.
A state education pathway intended to strengthen connections among K–12 instruction, postsecondary programs, and emerging-technology workforce preparation.
A multidisciplinary center for human-centered AI research, project-based learning, community partnerships, workshops, and seed-grant support.
LPSC proceedings are the public control surface for large-load power and ratepayer risk. The hub below ties policy intent directly to named dockets and source links.
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.
This is the Commission's current proceeding on private-use electrical networks for generation serving prospective large loads looking to locate in Louisiana. It is relevant to how new data-center load and dedicated generation may be evaluated outside a traditional utility-service path.
