Entergy Louisiana has filed a request with state regulators to approve the purchase, construction, and operation of nearly 225 MW of new solar power resources.

The request includes a 175 MW project in Iberville Parish and a 49 MW project in Ouachita Parish.

Under Entergy Louisiana’s proposal before the Commission, the company would enter a 20-year purchase power agreement with Coastal Prairie Solar, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of NextEra Energy Resources, for energy produced by its solar facility to be built in Iberville Parish.
