475 megawatts (the 2021 Solar Portfolio) and the implementation of a new green tariff, the Geaux Green Option (Rider GGO).  The 2021 Solar Portfolio consists of four resources, which include (i) the Vacherie Facility, a 150 megawatt resource in St. James Parish; (ii) the Sunlight Road Facility, a 50 megawatt resource in Washington Parish; (iii) the St. Jacques Facility, a 150 megawatt resource in St. James Parish; and (iv) the Elizabeth Facility, a 125 megawatt resource in Allen Parish.  The St. Jacques Facility would be acquired through a build-own-transfer agreement; the remaining resources involve power purchase agreements.  The Sunlight Road Facility and the Elizabeth Facility each achieved commercial operation in 2024, and the Vacherie Facility and the St. Jacques Facility originally had estimated in service dates in 2025.

In June 2024 the St. James Parish council denied the application and following this denial, the project developer and one of the project’s ground lessors filed separate lawsuits seeking to overturn the council’s decision.  The council’s decision was subsequently affirmed by the Louisiana 23rd Judicial District Court.  Entergy Louisiana is no longer pursuing the addition of resources through an acquisition of the St. Jacques Facility or through a power purchase agreement with the Vacherie Facility.
