 in February 2025, Entergy Arkansas filed surrebuttal testimony responding to the opposing parties’ testimony.  A hearing was held in March 2025, and in April 2025 the APSC issued an order approving certification of the facility.  The order also provided a presumption of prudence finding with respect to a benchmark project cost.  In May 2025, Entergy Arkansas filed a motion for clarification concerning the appropriate calculation of the benchmark.  Entergy Arkansas will have the opportunity to later present all actual costs to the APSC for review and a prudence determination, including costs incremental to the benchmark.

The filing requests LPSC certification of three new combined cycle combustion turbine generation resources totaling 2,262 MW, each of which will be enabled for future carbon capture and storage, a new 500 kV transmission line, and 500 kV substation upgrades.  The application also requests approval to implement a corporate sustainability rider applicable to the new customer.  The corporate sustainability rider contemplates the new customer contributing to the costs of the future addition of 1,500 MW of new solar and energy storage resources, agreements involving carbon capture and storage at Entergy Louisiana’s existing Lake Charles Power Station, and potential future wind and nuclear resources.  Entergy Louisiana anticipates funding the incremental cost to serve the customer through direct financial contributions from the customer and the revenues it expects to earn under the electric service agreement.  The electric service agreement also contains provisions for termination payments that will help ensure that there is no harm
