# Jefferson REDACTED Application The 2,142-page REDACTED Application of [[Entergy Arkansas]] for a Certificate of Environmental Compatibility and Public Need for the [[Jefferson Power Station|JPS]], filed 2025-08-01. JPS is a combined-cycle combustion turbine (CCCT) at the existing **White Bluff station near Redfield, Jefferson County**. The Application is the precedent-setting filing under Act 373: per the Commission's [[Jefferson Order No. 5 SREA Limited Intervention|Order No. 5]], "this Docket is the first proceeding before the Commission where EAL is explicitly seeking to establish a generation facility (and associated transmission infrastructure) as a strategic investment eligible for rider recovery pursuant to Act 373." ## Key takeaways - **JPS is a CCCT** (combined-cycle combustion turbine) at the existing White Bluff station. - **In-service date: December 2029.** - Justified on "electrical load growth, service reliability, and customer service options." - Explicitly invokes Act 373 / Strategic Investment classification. - Application Application invokes Act 940 of 2025 and Act 373 (GAJA Act) as the legal frameworks. The Application's substantive justification of data-center-driven industrial load growth is most explicitly developed in [[Bethel Direct on JPS Industrial Load Growth|Bethel's direct testimony (Doc. 10)]] — and the load-forecast Table 1 (year-over-year industrial load growth percentages 2026–2030) is **sealed as Highly Sensitive Protected Information**. ## Cross-references See the [[psc/docket-25-047-u-jefferson-2026-05-22/_overview|Docket 25-047-U production overview]] for context.
