    Utilities balk at industrial customers generating their own power, selling excess on the grid

    A Louisiana Senate bill (SB 490) allowing industrial facilities to build private power plants and sell up to 50% of generated electricity faces opposition from major utilities like Entergy and Cleco. Sponsored by Sen. Bob Hensgens (R-Abbeville), the stalled legislation aims to bypass traditional utility approval processes, drawing support from some energy advocacy groups after amendments.
