The Sierra Club gave Entergy Mississippi a failing grade for plans to add nearly 3,500 MW of new gas capacity by 2035 despite retiring coal plants by 2030 and making some renewable investments, while Mississippi Power improved to a 'C' grade by planning smaller gas capacity additions and coal retirements.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Climate Tech, and 2 sources have reported it between 25 Sep 2026 and 26 Sep 2026.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You face pressure as utilities expand gas despite clean goals; focus on innovations that reduce dependency on new gas plants accelerating costs and emissions in regional power markets.
