Summary

Docket U-37882 is Entergy Louisiana's pending request for Louisiana PSC certification of more than five gigawatts of new generation, battery storage and transmission to serve Meta's Evest hyperscale data center in Richland Parish, adjacent to the data center covered by the 2025 U-37425 order. An administrative law judge ruling of 4 August 2026 describes the application; the Commission reversed that ruling's subpoena decision on 12 August 2026, and the docket was on the 16 September 2026 agenda. On 15 April 2026 the Commission voted to schedule its consideration of the requested relief for its 16 December 2026 session. It is a pending proceeding, not an approval.

What this does not establish

  • The application itself was not opened; its scope is taken from the 4 August 2026 administrative law judge ruling, whose subpoena decision the Commission reversed on 12 August 2026.
  • The LPSC docket page is rendered by script and was not read; pendency rests on the 16 September 2026 agenda and the absence of a final order in the documents read.
  • The filing date is described only as on or about 26 March 2026, so no filing day is recorded.

Unresolved questions

None recorded.

Relationships

Supersession means a later instrument replaces the earlier legal effect. Repeal links identify the repeal instrument and the measure it ends. A later implementation or related letter is not treated as a replacement unless the record says so.

  • No related action is recorded.
