Entergy's Fair Share Plus Model Projects $2.8 Billion Savings for Louisiana Customers
Entergy Louisiana's Fair Share Plus model aims to secure $2.8 billion in savings for customers over the next decades, driven by the state's data center growth. This initiative ensures that large-scale investments in energy infrastructure will not burden existing utility customers, while enhancing service reliability and affordability.

Entergy Louisiana forecasts $2.8 billion in savings for its customers from the Fair Share Plus model, which supports economic growth without increasing utility costs for existing customers. Initiated in 2024, Louisiana's data center expansion includes significant projects by Meta and Hut 8, leading to enhanced energy infrastructure through investments in solar, nuclear, and battery storage.
The Fair Share Plus framework includes long contract terms, strong collateral requirements, and guarantees adequate revenues for data center operations. This approach aims to prevent cost shifts to current customers while providing lower utility bills. The model also supports funding for energy efficiency programs and emergency assistance for low-income residents, indicating a comprehensive effort to ensure that growth benefits all stakeholders.
