 PPA project was terminated after failure to reach agreement on terms, and negotiation of definitive agreements for the remaining resources are in progress.

In October 2022, Entergy Services, on behalf of Entergy Texas, issued an RFP for solar photovoltaic and wind resources.  Entergy Texas selected a combination of PPA, build-own-transfer, and owned resources in July 2023.  The PPA and build-own-transfer negotiations were terminated after failure to reach agreement on terms.  In July 2024, Entergy Texas filed an application with the PUCT seeking regulatory approval for the owned resource, the 170 MW Segno Solar facility.  Subject to receipt of required regulatory approval and other conditions, the Segno Solar facility is expected to be in service by early 2027.

In April 2024, Entergy Services, on behalf of Entergy Louisiana, issued an RFP for capacity and energy from existing generation resources.  Entergy Louisiana selected a PPA resource in December 2024, and negotiation of a definitive agreement is in progress.
