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.

CMS Energy Corp. Admits $4.4 Billion in "Round-Trip" Trading
LCG, May 16, 2002-At the order of FERC, Wednesday CMS Energy Corporation said it inflated its trading volume by over $4.4 billion. Based in Dearborn, CMS said that trading between May 2000 and January 2002 included so-called "round-trip" or zero-margin trades. This practice, which is not illegal, calls for traders to purchase electricity at a specific price only to resell it at exactly the same price to same party. This increases trading volume without any real trade actually occurring. CMS asserted that it did not participate in any California electricity trading and that all of its round-trip trades were made with either Dynegy Inc. or Reliant Energy Services. CMS has changed the value of 2001 revenues by 26 percent, down to $9.6 billion, although it is still considering whether or not it will downsize its 2000 revenues by 11 percent to $7.7 billion. The company's shares have dropped by 20 percent over the last week. Meanwhile, the SEC has been conducting a formal investigation of Dynegy, and last week Reliant disclosed its involvement in round-trip trading amounting to a ten percent boost in revenue between 1999 and 2001. Reliant's round-trip trades made up 20 percent of all its trading last year. Dynegy denies taking part in anything improper and has reportedly cooperated with investigators. The admissions came after the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ordered over a hundred energy traders to state whether or not they had participated in 12 specific strategies listed in the Enron memos released recently.
