What happened
Entergy and Google formalized a 20-year partnership regarding a data center campus located in West Memphis, Arkansas. The facility will support Google's various products, including YouTube, internet searches, and Gmail. The project is expected to result in a nearly $6 monthly increase for Entergy customers over the two decades, though Entergy has not disclosed the exact energy demand from Google.
Why it matters
The agreement establishes a major, long-term power supply contract for Google's operations within the state. This introduces significant economic activity and a potential tax base into Arkansas. The matter has been tabled before the state's Joint Energy Committee for further review.
Google is partnering with Entergy to fund a solar energy project in Arkansas.
