Bill > SC525

This concurrent resolution commemorates the 40-year anniversary of Entergy's Grand Gulf Nuclear Station located in Port Gibson, Mississippi, highlighting its significant contributions to the state's energy infrastructure. The resolution recognizes the nuclear power plant's achievements, including providing safe, low-cost, and low-emission electricity to nearly half a million Mississippians since 1985, generating about 16% of the state's electricity without greenhouse gas emissions. The plant, which underwent a power upgrade in 2012 and is now the largest single-unit nuclear power plant in the United States, has been granted an operating license extension through 2044. The resolution also emphasizes the economic impact of the facility, noting that it employs over 800 skilled workers with an annual payroll exceeding $113 million and contributes approximately $30 million in state and local taxes. The Mississippi Senate and House of Representatives seek to honor Entergy's Grand Gulf Nuclear Station, its leadership, and employees on this milestone anniversary, recognizing its role as a critical and stable energy provider for the state.
