Entergy Louisiana announces its renewable power is exceeding coal in energy production for the first time. Director of Resource Planning Laura Beauchamp says this is a significant milestone for the company.
“We have a commitment to reach net zero by 2050 and certainly provide cleaner environment and cleaner resources for our customers. We see significant addition to our solar portfolio over the next five years.”
Data from the company’s 2023 power generation report shows renewable energy production totaled one point one million megawatt hours. Beauchamp points out solar energy reduces carbon emissions and offers many benefits.
“Solar A is quite. B its clean. And it is an opportunity for us to provide resources to our industry that’s looking for green power particularly solar to be located here in Louisiana.”
Beauchamp says the company has approximately 230 megawatts of renewable resources including the Capital Region Solar facility, which began delivering power to the grid in October 2020. She says they’re proud to transition towards cleaner energy sources while delivering reliable and affordable power.
“We have invested significantly in our modern gas portfolio over the last decade. And that has enabled us to provide reliable least cost resources here in Louisiana.”
