Multiple technology companies are seeking to build large data centers in Northern Louisiana after Meta Platforms Inc. announced plans to construct its largest AI-focused facility in the region, according to Entergy Louisiana Chief Executive Officer Phillip May.
“We’re seeing interest in things as small as 100-plus megawatts all the way up to gigawatt-scale projects,” he said. The company is engaged with a “fairly robust pipeline of other hyperscalers,” with many demonstrating interest in Northern Louisiana because of land access, government officials willing to speed deals and less hurricane risk than along the Gulf coast, May added.
