BATON ROUGE, La., and DALLAS, Texas – Entergy Louisiana and Energy Transfer LP have signed a 20-year firm transportation agreement to deliver natural gas that will help power facilities, support new development, and strengthen energy reliability in North Louisiana.
Under the agreement, Energy Transfer will provide 250,000 MMBtu per day of firm transportation service beginning in February 2028 through January 2048. The deal includes an option for Entergy Louisiana to expand delivery capacity as energy demand grows in the region.
The natural gas supplied under the agreement will fuel Entergy Louisiana’s combined-cycle combustion turbine facilities, which are designed to deliver efficient and lower-emission power. The agreement also supports large-scale projects such as Meta’s planned hyperscale data center in Richland Parish.
As part of the project, Energy Transfer will expand its Tiger Pipeline by constructing a 12-mile lateral with a capacity of up to 1 billion cubic feet per day. The gas will be sourced from Energy Transfer’s pipeline network connected to major producing basins across the United States.
“This agreement is another example of how we’re making smart, long-term investments to ensure reliable, affordable power for our customers while supporting major economic development projects across our state,” said Phillip May, president and CEO of Entergy Louisiana. “Working with partners like Energy Transfer allows us to secure the fuel supply needed to power critical facilities like the ones in northern Louisiana and support our state’s growth for decades to come.”
Entergy Louisiana said the agreement aligns with its long-term financial and energy plans to meet customer demand while advancing economic opportunities in the region.
