Entergy Mississippi recently held a groundbreaking ceremony in Greenville for the Delta Blues Advanced Power Station, a project that signifies a brighter future in sustainable energy for the region. The new facility, set to replace the aging Gerald Andrus Steam Electric Station, is a $1.2 billion investment that will have a significant economic impact on the Mississippi Delta. By embracing cleaner and more efficient power generation, Entergy Mississippi aims to ensure modern and reliable energy for its customers well into the future. The plant, scheduled to come online in 2028, will be capable of powering 385,000 homes in the area, highlighting the company's commitment to providing affordable, clean, and reliable power. The use of blended hydrogen technology in the facility will contribute to a substantial reduction in carbon emissions, further enhancing its sustainability. With a focus on economic growth and job creation, the project is expected to create over 300 construction jobs and generate additional tax revenue for Washington County. The plant will also play a crucial role in attracting new industries and jobs to Mississippi, showcasing the state's dedication to a greener and more prosperous future. Entergy Mississippi's leadership, as expressed by their chair and CEO Drew Marsh and President and CEO Haley Fisackerly, emphasizes the importance of this project in driving economic growth, enhancing sustainability, and ensuring customer savings.
