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.

North Korea Agrees to Joint Survey of Power Needs

LCG, Jan. 2, 2001South Korean officials could cross the demilitarized zone later this month to inspect the electric power resources of North Korea as the result of three days of high-level talks between the two countries aimed at opening up economic cooperation.

As the meetings concluded Saturday in Pyongyang, the two sides agreed to hold another meeting, possibly as soon as this week, to set up a joint field survey to investigate North Korea's power infrastructure.

Last week's talks, held at the deputy minister level, were an outgrowth of and earlier ministerial exchange. North Korea made it plain that its request for electricity was the most important item on last week's agenda, including the possibility of importing South Korean power into the North.

For its part, South Korea was plumping for economic cooperation that would tie the two countries closer together. The South wanted to talk about a cross-border railroad and highway, an industrial park near the border and a dam, also near the border.

Reclusive North Korea sees to possibility of allowing South Koreans to investigate its power situation as a significant adjustment on its part. Pak Chang Ryon, the North's chief negotiator, was quoted in the South Korean press as saying "We have made big concessions this time, and we expect equal concessions from the South when we meet again in Seoul."

Representatives of both countries said the content of last week's discussion would be released early this month. But even as the talks were in progress, it was apparent that North Korea was avid in its quest for electricity. Even in the capital city of Pyongyang, some buildings are without power.

It is winter in Korea, and it is probably 20 degrees below zero, or colder, in a lot of places.
