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.

AEP to Split into Two Firms, Target Wholesale Power

LCG, Nov. 1, 2000--American Electric Power Co. chief executive E. Linn Draper said yesterday his company plans to split into two companies, one to focus on competitive wholesale power and the other to operate the company's regulated businesses in the U.S. and abroad.

"Our focus for growth moving forward, plain and simple, will be the wholesale business; generation and related energy assets, wholesale marketing and trading," said Draper who was addressing a San Francisco conference sponsored by the Edison Electric Institute.

He also said that AEP has decided not to pursue combination of its 100 percent owned British regional electric company Seeboard Plc with Yorkshire Electricity Plc, another REC it owns in equal shares with Xcel Energy Inc. AEP would have bought out Xcel under the plan.

Draper said that AEP would apply later this week to the Securities and Exchange Commission for authority to form the two companies. The two firms would be under am umbrella holding company, he said.

Draper would not say whether public offerings were contemplated for selling stock in the two new companies. "We have a number of options to consider, but we expect it will take at least a year" to get necessary regulatory approvals and complete all the paperwork to set up the companies he said.
