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.

DOE Issues Grid Study
LCG, May 9, 2002-The U.S. Department of Energy has submitted its electricity transmission study, originally called for by the White House. Released by Secretary of Energy Spencer Abraham, the study supports the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) in its plan to divide the country into Regional Transmission Organizations (RTOs), which would be responsible for reliability. Likened to the public highways, RTO's are intended to make electricity easy to trade across state lines by the formation of a national grid. The report includes cooperative regional transmission siting forums, which would have FERC, DOE, and state authorities design transmission line siting rules. It calls for Congress to mandate power grid reliability standards and suggests that transmission investment be "merchant" projects, which would reportedly result in no risk to ratepayers. The DOE also wants Congress to give FERC limited federal eminent-domain authority in siting new transmission lines and says that savings from their transmission plans would be significant because national transmission would avoid bottlenecks that cost hundreds of millions of dollars a year. DOE's report attributed an estimated $500 million in combined savings to eliminating transmission limitations in California, Mid-Atlantic PJM Interconnection, New York, and New England. The study also suggests promoting technologies like superconductors. Abraham said the timing of the study, which was ordered a year ago, was not intended to coincide with the current energy bills pending in the House and Senate.
