 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.  The Segno Solar facility will cost an estimated $351.6 million, and the Votaw Solar facility will cost an estimated $303.8 million, in each case inclusive of estimated transmission interconnection and upgrade costs.  In September 2024 the PUCT referred the proceeding to the State Office of Administrative Hearings.  In December 2024 the ALJs with the State Office of Administrative Hearings adopted a revised agreed procedural schedule, with a hearing on the merits to be held in March 2025.  In January 2025 certain intervenors and the PUCT staff filed testimony opposing Entergy Texas’s application.  The opposing testimony argues that the proposed generation additions will have a net cost to customers, and it also challenges the design and effectiveness of the voluntary renewable energy tariff.  In addition, the opposing testimony recommends that the PUCT impose conditions on any approval of Entergy Texas’s application.  The conditions that certain intervenors and the PUCT staff propose include guarantees related to customer net benefits, resource production, independent investigation of any material cost overruns, and the addition of a mandatory sleeving tariff.  Entergy Texas plans to file rebuttal testimony in February 2025.  A PUCT decision is expected in third quarter 2025.  Subject to receipt of required regulatory approval and other conditions, the Segno Solar facility is expected to be in service by early 2027, and the Votaw Solar facility is expected to be in service by mid-2028.

In December 2024 other parties, including the APSC general staff, filed testimony opposing the resource, although the APSC general staff recognized the capacity need for the resource.  Entergy Arkansas filed testimony in January 2025 further supporting its application, and in February 2025 the opposing parties filed responsive rebuttal
