We entered into an agreement with AWS to provide two data center campuses in Madison County
were very aggressive in finding a partner like AWS to come in and help us to grow, invest and unlock new technologies.”
As Haley explains, this investment will accelerate Entergy Mississippi’ s planned infrastructure upgrade projects, without transferring the cost to its consumers – a major win for the company and its customers alike. One of such projects is Entergy Mississippi’ s Delta Blues Advanced Power Station, situated in Greenville, Mississippi. Focusing heavily on sustainable operation, Delta Blues is set to be a 745-megawatt facility able to power nearly 400,000 homes across Entergy Mississippi’ s service area, which will significantly increase the quality and reliability of the energy provided to its customers.
“ We recently broke ground on this $ 1.2 billion project, so it is under construction as we speak – a very highly efficient plant that uses less water, has less emissions and is much quieter. We’ re going to install Mitsubishi turbines into the plant, which are 50 percent more efficient than what they’ re replacing, and we’ re building the plant in such a way that it can be retrofitted to use hydrogen fuel when it becomes more economic. We’ re also building the plant to be adaptable to carbon capture capability, so that our CO 2 emissions can be sequestered and not admitted into the environment,” Haley elaborates.
On the topic of environmental impact, Entergy Mississippi is also making significant strides into new renewable energies; in
