March 17, 2025 — After luring Meta’s largest data center to Richland Parish, the CEO of Entergy Louisiana said Monday the state is poised to take advantage of economic opportunities driven by the push for artificial intelligence and renewable energy.
“We can’t really name who is out there, but the Meta announcement created a lot of interest,” Phillip May told the Press Club of Baton Rouge. May said Meta’s decision to build a $10 billion data center in north Louisiana, “changed the narrative” of the state.
