The corporate mentioned on Thursday it filed the request with the Louisiana Public Service Fee on March 13. Mixed with the virtually 225 MW of photo voltaic sources that the utility requested recently, this implies 3,225 MW of photo voltaic are in line for potential building, growth and addition to the grid by way of agreements with Entergy Louisiana, it added.
