 involving carbon capture and storage at Entergy Louisiana’s existing Lake Charles Power Station, and potential future wind and nuclear resources.  The combined cost of the first two new combined cycle combustion turbine generation resources is estimated to be approximately $2,387 million, and these units are expected to achieve commercial operation in 2028.  The third new generation resource is currently expected to have an estimated cost similar to the first two new generation resources and is expected to achieve commercial operation in 2029.  The cost of the new 500 kV transmission line is estimated to be $546 million.  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 to Entergy Louisiana and its customers in the event of early termination.  A directive was issued at the LPSC’s November 2024 meeting for the matter to be decided by October 2025.  Consistent with this directive, a procedural schedule was adopted

setting the matter for hearing in July 2025.  In February 2025 intervenors filed a motion asking the LPSC to deny Entergy Louisiana’s requested exemption from the LPSC’s order addressing competitive solicitation procedures and further asking the LPSC to dismiss the application.

In February 2025, Entergy Louisiana filed supplemental testimony with the LPSC stating that the third combined cycle combustion turbine resource presented in the October 2024 application would be sited at Entergy Louisiana’s Waterford site in Killona, Louisiana, alongside existing Entergy Louisiana generation resources.  The testimony also notes that Entergy Louisiana is negotiating with the customer to increase the load associated with the customer’s project in north Louisiana and that the additional load can be served without additional generation capacity beyond what was presented in the October 2024 application, but that additional transmission facilities, which will be funded directly by the customer, are needed to serve this additional load.

Entergy Louisiana Transmission Projects

In March 2024, Entergy Louisiana filed an application seeking an exemption determination, or alternatively, a certificate of public convenience and necessity, for a transmission project that includes a new 500 kV/230 kV Commodore substation and an approximately 60-mile 230 kV line connecting the new Commodore substation to the Waterford sub
