What the filing saysLOWER CONFIDENCE. Cleco's general Large Power Service (LPSC Tariff No. 7, revised January 1, 2026) requires at least 5,000 kW under an Agreement for Service, with a $10,000 customer charge and a billing demand charge; it is not data-center-specific. The LPSC's Large Load Additions Guidelines (docket X-37921, comments due June 19, 2026) are non-binding. Cleco filed July 1, 2026 for approval of an electric service agreement with Applied Digital for the Delta Forge site, new gas generation and a temporary capacity agreement; on September 16 the LPSC moved it forward without an ALJ recommendation. Contract terms are not public. Entergy Louisiana has its own approved schedule in a separate row.
