  The LPSC staff’s testimony recommends LPSC approval of the project.  The Louisiana Energy Users Group’s testimony opines that Entergy Louisiana has shown that there is a need for additional transmission investment in the West Bank area of Amite South but recommends that the LPSC withhold approval pending further analysis, including analysis of potential lower cost alternatives to the proposed project, and also pending Entergy Louisiana demonstrating that it has contributions in aid of construction or minimum bill revenues from the customers whose block load additions would be enabled by the proposed transmission project in amounts sufficient to substantially, if not fully, cover the revenue requirement of the proposed project.  In June 2025, Entergy Louisiana filed rebuttal testimony.  The hearing was held in August 2025, and an LPSC decision is expected in first quarter 2026.

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.  In August 2025, Entergy Texas filed, and the ALJs with the State Office of Administrative Hearings granted, an unopposed motion to withdraw the application.  In September 2025, Entergy Texas and Entergy Louisiana entered into assignment and assumption agreements pursuant to which Entergy Texas assigned, and Entergy Louisiana assumed, certain interests in the Segno Solar and Votaw Solar facilities, and the associated assets were transferred in third quarter 2025 from Entergy Texas to Entergy Louisiana for approximately $41.4 million, subject to adjustment per the assignment and assumption agreements.  Entergy Louisiana expects to file an application with the LPSC in fourth quarter 2025 seeking certification and approval to construct the Segno Solar facility and Votaw Solar facility.
