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.

Energy Commission 'Attacking' State Electricity Problems

LCG, Dec. 22, 2000--Saying it was "attacking the state's electricity problems in two major ways," the California Energy Commission yesterday evening issued three press releases explaining "in detail" taken at the agency's meeting yesterday.

The Commission said it had approved its ninth new power plant since deregulation of the California electric industry in 1996. As reported here yesterday, the agency did indeed approve construction of Enron Corp.'s 750 megawatt Pastoria plant west of Bakersfield -- after thinking about it for two years.

In another news release, the Commission said it "hopes" to cut energy use in state facilities by 200 megawatts before next summer. To do so will require the expenditure of $6,750,000.

In another initiative that will require more millions of dollars, the Commission approved contracts with four "regional entities" to put into effect its "Cool Communities Program." This is really something. Each of the "entities" will get $2 million to do things like paint roofs with things that reflect the sun's heat.

According to the Commission, "Cool roofs reduce air pollution, lower energy bills and help mitigate further damage to air quality."

Why is the plural of "hoof" given as "hooves" and that of "roof" as "roofs?"
