Summary
The Louisiana Public Service Commission voted on 20 August 2025 and issued Order No. U-37425 on 29 August 2025. The order accepts a settlement approving Entergy Louisiana's generation and transmission resources and a related rider to serve a Meta data center in Richland Parish. It concerns that customer's service and does not set general large-load rules for other data centers, although the settlement also directs a change to Entergy Louisiana's general Rider GZ renewable tariff.

- The accepted settlement also requires Entergy Louisiana to file a tariff change to its general Rider GZ (Geaux Zero); that tariff change is not this record.
