SC 525

This is a ceremonial resolution that commemorates the 40th anniversary of Entergy's Grand Gulf Nuclear Station in Port Gibson, Mississippi, rather than enacting new laws or policies. The resolution honors the nuclear power plant's four decades of operation and highlights its significance to the state, including that it has supplied electricity to approximately half a million Mississippians since 1985, generates about 16% of the state's electricity without greenhouse gas emissions, and employs over 800 workers with an annual payroll exceeding $113 million. While the resolution has no direct legal impact, it recognizes the plant's importance to Mississippi's energy portfolio and economy, and acknowledges its recent power upgrade that made it the largest single-unit nuclear plant in the United States.
