2022 Solar Portfolio and Expansion of the Geaux Green Option

In February 2023, Entergy Louisiana filed an application with the LPSC seeking certification of the Iberville/Coastal Prairie facility, which will provide 175 MW of capacity through a PPA with a third party, and the Sterlington facility, a 49 MW self-build project located near the deactivated Sterlington power plant (the 2022 Solar Portfolio).  Entergy Louisiana is seeking to include these resources within the portfolio supporting the Rider GGO rate schedule to help fulfill customer interest in access to renewable energy.  Entergy Louisiana has requested the costs of these facilities, as offset by Rider GGO revenues, be deemed eligible for recovery in accordance with the terms of the formula rate plan and fuel adjustment clause rate mechanisms that exist at the time the facilities are placed into service.  In January 2024, the parties filed an uncontested stipulated settlement agreement on the key issues in the case, which stated that the 2022 Solar Portfolio should be constructed, found that Entergy Louisiana’s proposed cost recovery mechanisms were appropriate, and confirmed the resources’ eligibility for inclusion in Rider GGO.  The settlement was approved by the LPSC in January 2024.  The Sterlington facility is expected to achieve commercial operation in January 2026.

Alternative RFP and Certification

In 2023, Entergy Louisiana made a filing to seek approval from the LPSC for an alternative to the requests for proposals (RFP) process that would enable the acquisition of up to 3 GW of solar resources on a faster timeline than the current RFP and certification process allows.  The initial phase of the filing established the need for the acquisition of additional resources and the need for an alternative to the RFP process.  The second phase of the filing contained the details of the proposal for the alternative competitive procurement process and the information necessary to support certification.  In addition to the acquisition of up to 3 GW of solar resources, the filing also sought approval of a new renewable energy credits-based tariff, the Geaux ZERO rider.  In June 2024 the LPSC issued an order approving the application.  In August 2024, Entergy Louisiana issued the first RFP
