In August 2024, Entergy Louisiana issued the first RFP pursuant to this order in solicitation of solar resources that meet the requirements of the LPSC’s order.  In July 2025,  Entergy Louisiana filed an application requesting that the LPSC approve and certify the Bogalusa West Solar facility, a 200 MW single axis tracking solar photovoltaic power facility in Washington Parish, Louisiana.
