Entergy Louisiana has begun construction on two new combined-cycle combustion turbine generation facilities in Richland Parish. The Franklin Farms Power Station, recently approved by the Louisiana Public Service Commission, will add around 1,500 megawatts of efficient natural gas generation capacity. The project aims to modernize the state's energy infrastructure, strengthen reliability, and support economic growth by creating thousands of construction and technology jobs. The new plants will use advanced technology to reduce fuel use and emissions while improving system reliability. Entergy Louisiana's investment is also designed to support the growing energy needs of local industries and digital businesses, with Meta funding infrastructure to serve its new Richland Parish data center. The initiative is expected to deliver significant long-term benefits for communities and customers across Louisiana.
