Entergy's Google expansion includes a solar deal Arkansas regulators denied

Entergy Arkansas said on October 19, 2026 that Google will pay for about $600 million of grid investment and a 440 MWac solar power purchase agreement for a second phase of its West Memphis data center, with at least $500 million in customer savings over 20 years starting in 2028. Arkansas regulators denied that solar contract, Big Island, on September 16, and staff and the attorney general oppose Entergy's rehearing request.
