Why this gas-heavy utility is going (really) big on solar

Tell us what you think of the show!

The news from Entergy Louisiana may have required a second reading. And a third. The utility wants to go (really) big on solar. Why now?

Entergy Louisiana asked state regulators in March to approve 3 GW of new solar resources. That's on top of its request from a few weeks earlier for 225 MW of new solar, which would have nearly doubled the state's existing capacity.

Louisiana isn't known as the friendliest to solar. What led to the sudden change of heart?

Entergy  Louisiana CEO Phillip May joined Episode 44 of the Factor This! podcast to share an inside look at a Southern utility's view on the energy transition. May shared his outlook for solar, energy storage, green hydrogen, offshore wind, and more.
