Happy Monday! Welcome back to another week of ESC News Blog.
Did anyone happen to read The
Houston Chronicle’s The 713 Afternoon Newsletter on October 16, 2026, their
article titled, “Entergy Texas opens $1.6 billion power plant as customers face
a new charge on their bills”? In the
article, it goes on to speak on how last Wednesday, October 14, 2026, Entergy
Texas has started a new natural gas power plant in Bridge City, Orange County,
Texas powering 27 Southeast Texas Counties on the Midcontinent Independent System
Operator’s (MISO) grid. Orange County Advanced
Power Station is the facility’s name, and it is bringing 1.2 GW of reliable power
to MISO not Electric Reliability Council of Texas’ (ERCOT) grid. Entergy
is also adding new facilities in Cleveland and Port Arthur, Texas with an
expected capped cost of $2.4 billion and they are expected online in 2028. We wish Entergy luck with completing and
getting these power plants online! If
