Nuclear Power Provides Safe, Clean and Reliable Energy

Louisiana’s two nuclear power plants, both operated by Entergy Louisiana, are currently the largest source of carbon-free power in Louisiana. Key to the state’s nuclear power is its reliability. Nuclear power plants can operate 24/7, providing a stable source of energy during times of high demand or inclement weather.
