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.

Entergy stated that the elimination of the rate increase is an early example of how data centers are directly benefiting their customers.

Fund Could Offset Energy Price Spikes in Edmonton

LCG, Feb. 6, 2002--Alberta's Revenue Minister said that representatives at a Future Summit Meeting discussed setting aside funds to be used when Alberta energy prices increase.

The minister, Greg Melchin, said that the existing Heritage Fund, created in 1976 to accumulate surplus energy revenues, could be used to make sure that other budgetary priorities are not impacted by high energy prices. It would also assist in maintaining reliable electric service, said Melchin.

The government did not approve similar proposals made in prior years, but the idea was revived during the two-day Future Summit's coverage of fiscal matters. A report by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Alberta suggested that Alberta's remaining debt could be paid off with $6 billion, and that $3.5 billion could be used for the stabilization fund. The value of the Heritage Fund currently stands at $12 billion, and would receive additional funds from surplus revenues when they occurred.

While the conference proceedings suggested that support exists for countering boom-and-bust energy prices' effects, Melchin said that the province would need to "bring clarity" concerning Heritage Fund transactions.
