"Continuing our long-standing work with Entergy, these projects will provide affordable energy to Louisiana residents and create local economic development benefits as the state becomes a national leader in the new energy economy." "DESRI has been a great partner of Entergy and our goal to deliver clean, affordable and reliable services to our customers," said Phillip May, Entergy Louisiana president and CEO. "We look forward to extending that partnership on three more projects across our state and to help our communities prosper for generations to come." The Vacherie, SJ Solar, and Sunlight Road facilities are expected to deliver significant community benefits, including the creation of several hundred construction jobs. When the projects are operational, DESRI will be the long term owner and operator of Vacherie and Sunlight Road, while ELL will take ownership of SJ Solar.
