 a procedural schedule, with a hearing on the merits scheduled to begin in October 2024.  In September 2024, Entergy Texas filed, and the ALJ with the State Office of Administrative Hearings granted, a motion to extend the procedural schedule in this proceeding in order to address certain developments relating to the cost and scope of the Legend Power Station and the Lone Star Power Station.  In December 2024, Entergy Texas filed supplemental testimony and exhibits addressing the cost and scope developments associated with the Legend Power Station and the Lone Star Power Station in further support of its application.  The cost and scope developments include cost estimate increases of $139 million for Legend Power Station and $63.7 million for Lone Star Power Station and the consideration of an alternate site for Lone Star Power Station, which would reduce the estimated cost increase of the Lone Star Power Station to $36.2 million.  Also in December 2024, the ALJ with the State Office of Administrative Hearings adopted a procedural schedule with a hearing on the merits to be held in April 2025.  A PUCT decision is expected in July 2025.  Subject to receipt of required regulatory approval and other conditions, both facilities are expected to be in service by mid-2028.

Segno Solar and Votaw Solar

In July 2024, Entergy Texas filed an application seeking PUCT approval to amend Entergy Texas’s certificate of convenience and necessity to construct, own, and operate the Segno Solar facility, a 170 MW solar facility to be located in Polk County, Texas, and the Votaw Solar facility, a 141 MW solar facility to be located in Hardin County, Texas.  The Segno Solar facility will cost an estimated $351.6 million, and the Votaw Solar facility will cost an estimated $303.8 million, in each case inclusive of estimated transmission interconnection and upgrade costs.  In September 2024 the PUCT referred the proceeding to the State Office of Administrative Hearings.  In December 2024 the ALJs with the State Office of Administrative Hearings adopted a revised agreed procedural schedule, with a hearing on the merits to be held in March 2025.  In January 2025 certain intervenors and the PUCT staff filed testimony opposing Entergy Texas’s application.  The opposing testimony argues that the proposed generation additions will have a net cost to customers, and it also challenges the design and effectiveness of the voluntary renewable energy tariff.
