Entergy Mississippi Highlights New Benefits from Data Centers Are Reducing Customer Bills

LCG, August 27, 2026--Entergy announced today that new revenues from Mississippi data centers are a primary reason why Entergy Mississippi customers will not see their electricity rates increase this summer. The Mississippi Public Service Commission (MSPC) recently approved a rate plan that keeps Entergy Mississippi’s rates below the national average and prevented what otherwise would have been a $4.87 per month increase in July, compared to June rates. Entergy stated that the elimination of the rate increase is an early example of how data centers are directly benefiting their customers.

Enron Files for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy

LCG, Dec. 3, 2001--Enron Corp., collapsing like a house of cards, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy yesterday and, at the same time, sued Dynegy Inc. for $10 billion for walking away from a deal to acquire Enron.

Enron filed for Chapter 11 reorganization in U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York, and filed suit against Dynegy in the same court. In addition to seeking the $10 billion in damages, Enron asked the court to declare that Dynegy is not entitled to exercise its option to acquire Enron's Northern Natural Gas Pipeline.

In a statement, Kenneth L. Lay, Enron's embattled chairman and chief executive, insisted in spite of growing evidence to the contrary that "From an operational standpoint, our energy businesses-including our pipelines and utilities-are conducting normal operations and will continue to do so."

Dynegy responded this morning to Enron's lawsuit with a suit of its own, seeking to protect its option to purchase Northern Natural Gas Pipeline.

Chuck Watson, Dynegy's chairman and chief executive, said "This morning in Houston, Texas, Dynegy filed a lawsuit against several Enron subsidiaries which are not in bankruptcy. This suit demands these companies live up to their obligations."

When Dynegy and Enron announced their merger on November 9, Dynegy advanced $1.5 billion to Enron and was given as collateral shares of preferred stock which constitute an option to purchase the 500-mile pipeline. Last Thursday, Dynegy chose to exercise that option.

Watson characterized Enron's suit to block the pipeline deal as "frivolous and disingenuous."
