Entergy chief says ‘new nuclear’ could come to Arkansas

Entergy Corporation is exploring new nuclear energy options in Arkansas to meet a projected tripling/quadrupling of electricity demand by 2050, partly driven by data centers. Entergy Arkansas pledged that new data centers, like those from Google and AVAIO Digital, will pay their "fair share plus" of incremental and existing grid costs, totaling $7 billion across the four-state system. The company is also constructing three new power plants in the state to increase generation responsibly.
