NORTHAMPTON, MA / ACCESS Newswire / October 21, 2025 / For the 18th consecutive year, Site Selection Magazine has named Entergy a Top Utility in economic development.
The communities we serve in Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas host some of the largest and most power-intensive industries in the United States. In 2024, Entergy helped secure more than $47 billion in capital investments and create approximately 5,445 new direct jobs. The facilities under development range from hyperscale data centers to steel plants to innovative clean energy production sites.
In addition to creating jobs, these projects are expected to generate increased tax revenues for state and local governments, leading to better schools, roads and public facilities for residents and their families.
"We are honored to be recognized by Site Selection, a testament to the hard work and vision of our economic development teams," said Elizabeth Adams, Entergy's chief customer officer. "Our competitive energy prices, unparallel transportation access, supportive communities and strong, skilled workforce create an environment where businesses can grow and thrive. This acknowledgement recognizes how Entergy, in partnership with local, regional and state organizations in our service territory, continues to foster opportunity and progress through economic development for the Gulf South."
Site Selection Magazine assesses each utility's job-creating infrastructure and facility investment trends, innovative programs and incentives for businesses and website tools and data. You can view the magazine's profile of Entergy in the September 2025 print issue and online.
