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.

Outlook Questionable for LG&E's Participation in the Midwest ISO
LCG, December 29, 2004--Earlier this month LG&E Energy LLC notified the Midwest ISO (MISO) that its Louisville Gas and Electric Company and Kentucky Utilities subsidiaries plan to withdraw from the regional transmission organization (RTO). LG&E Energy conducted a cost-benefit analysis and estimates that its utilities would save over $65 million over the next five years by leaving the MISO, even after incorporating an exit fee of $23.8 million.The Kentucky Public Service Commission (PSC) began an investigation earlier this year into the utilities joining the MISO, and a hearing is scheduled to begin after February 1, 2005. The costs to LG&E utilities for participating in the MISO, estimated to be $7 million for retail customers, can not be added to utility bills prior to PSC approval.Estimating the costs and benefits related to establishing and operating regional transmission organizations is an on-going concern. In neighboring Virginia, state legislation required utilities, such as Virginia Power, to join an RTO, thus making cost-benefit analyses somewhat a moot issue. To support the development of RTOs, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) released a study in October designed to estimate the cost of developing a "Day One RTO" that meets the minimum requirements of the FERC's Order 2000. Given the unique nature of each of the limited number of existing RTOs, the FERC's review of actual cost data showed considerable cost differences between RTOs.The MISO has been conducting training and testing for its new market structure, which includes locational marginal pricing (LMP), and the market is planned to open on March 1, 2005.
