Meta has secured approval for three natural gas power plants to support its $10 billion data center in Louisiana, expected to generate up to 5 gigawatts of power. The decision has faced pushback from local groups concerned about preferential treatment for additional solar projects and potential costs for ratepayers after Meta's 15-year contract with Entergy expires. Critics highlight that these gas plants could hinder Meta's commitment to achieving net-zero emissions by 2030, as they will emit carbon dioxide for decades.
