Northeast Louisiana Power Coop

Entergy wants to build power lines for Meta’s data center. These landowners are fighting back.

Landowners in northern Louisiana are fighting Entergy's efforts to use eminent domain to build new transmission lines for Meta's $50 billion data center. Lawsuits have been filed by both Entergy and the affected property owners, who argue the land expropriation is for private gain and infringes on their property rights. The conflict highlights tensions between economic development priorities and local environmental and property concerns.
