During NAHJ's annual conference held in New Orleans, Patty Riddlebarger, Entergy's vice president of corporate social responsibility, met with students participating in the organization's acclaimed Student Project program. The NAHJ Student Project is a hands-on newsroom experience designed for college journalism students who identify as Hispanic or Latino. Each year, selected students work one-on-one with seasoned professional journalists who mentor them as they report, write, shoot, edit, and produce news stories during the conference. The program gives students a real-time taste of professional journalism, helping them strengthen their craft and build connections with mentors who support their growth long after the conference ends. Riddlebarger - herself Latina and with a former journalism background - shared her personal journey and professional insights during a discussion with the students, emphasizing both the responsibility and the opportunity journalists have in shaping community narratives. "As someone who started my career in journalism, I know how transformative it is to have people who believe in your voice," said Riddlebarger. "Programs like the Student Project not only strengthen the skills of young reporters - they create a pathway for Hispanic journalists to tell the stories that matter to our communities. Entergy is honored to support that mission." Students engaged Riddlebarger with questions about corporate citizenship, community partnership, and the evolving relationship between companies and the media. She also highlighted Entergy's broader commitment to education, equity and elevating underrepresented voices across the Gulf South. Our partnership with NAHJ underscores our dedication to fostering opportunity and supporting the development of future leaders. By investing in initiatives like the Student Project, we continue to ensure that the next generation of Latino journalists enter the industry prepared, confident and connected.

What happens when data centers start competing for fuel? TL;DR. * To bypass slow grid interconnection queues and keep up with AI buildout timelines, hyperscale data center developers are moving to behind-the-meter gas generation, turning power procurement directly into fuel sourcing. * Large 1 GW facilities can consume roughly 140 MMcf/d of natural gas, putting data centers in direct competition with utilities, industrial plants, and LNG projects for pipeline space and firm supply. * Proximity to major digital loads is creating a new strategic premium for midstream pipeline assets while pushing regulators like FERC to update traditional planning structures. * As fuel security becomes critical, developers are increasingly turning to energy recovery technologies to squeeze more useful power out of existing gas infrastructure without requiring additional fuel input. As more data centers bypass the grid with gas-backed generation, they are no longer just competing for power. They are competing for fuel, pipeline access, and the infrastructure that makes power possible. That changes the problem data center developers are trying to solve. Buying electricity from the grid means buying a delivered product. The utility or independent power producer handles fuel procurement, dispatch, balancing, and most of the infrastructure risk before power reaches the site. Behind-the-meter gas generation changes that model. Once a developer chooses to generate power onsite, power sourcing becomes fuel sourcing. Pipeline access, firm transportation, compression, storage, and backup supply move from the background to the center of the project. The numbers are large enough to make this trend a market-changer. Energy technology company Enverus estimates that a 1 GW data center can consume roughly 140 MMcf/d of natural gas. At that scale, a hyperscale campus does not behave like a conventional electricity customer. It starts to resemble a major industrial fuel buyer. That pushes data centers into competition with utilities, industrial facilities, LNG projects, and other large gas users for pipeline space, firm supply, and strategically located infrastructure. The growth trajectory of AI infrastructure is makes that competition consequential. Data center electricity demand is rising quickly, and developers are looking for ways to move faster than utility planning cycles and interconnection queues allow. Gas remains the most commercially available path to dispatchable generation at scale. For many projects, it is the only firm option that can be deployed fast enough to keep pace with AI buildout. That does not make gas-backed power simple or cheap. It does mean that data centers looking for speed-to-power are increasingly moving upstream into fuel strategy. Recent projects show what that looks like in practice. Entergy's agreement to support Meta's Louisiana buildout includes seven new natural gas-fueled combined-cycle plants totaling more than 5,200 MW, along with major transmission and supporting infrastructure. In Ohio, Williams' Socrates Power Solution Facilities are being developed to serve the growing data center market with 400 MW of natural gas-fired generation. They are examples of fuel access, generation, and digital infrastructure being planned together from the start. That planning pressure is now reaching regulators. FERC has launched a targeted effort to speed large-load integration because traditional planning and tariff structures are not keeping pace with hyperscale demand. The issue regulators must address is how to manage a market in which some of the largest new customers are no longer waiting for delivered utility power and are instead building projects around direct fuel access and onsite generation. As data centers move upstream, regulators are being pushed to respond to a very different kind of load growth than the system was built to handle. The same shift is affecting how gas infrastructure is valued. For decades, pipelines were valued primarily for moving molecules from one point to another. That is still their core role, but AI demand is adding a new layer of strategic value. The importance of a pipeline system now depends more heavily on where it connects, what kinds of loads sit nearby, and whether it can support behind-the-meter generation for energy-intensive campuses. A pipeline segment near a major data center project is no longer just transport infrastructure. It becomes part of that campus's ability to operate, expand, and secure power on schedule. That has implications for midstream economics. If large digital loads begin to shape where gas infrastructure gets expanded, how firm transport is contracted, and which assets command premium value, then AI is no longer just influencing electricity markets. It is changing the economics of fuel delivery itself. The companies best positioned near major data center corridors or capable of supporting new onsite generation models may benefit from a different demand profile than the midstream sector has historically served. Once fuel becomes strategic, efficiency becomes strategic too. Developers and infrastructure owners will not only ask how to secure more gas. They will ask how to get more useful power out of the gas infrastructure already in place. That creates a stronger case for energy recovery technologies that convert pressure drops into electricity, improve onsite efficiency, and make existing gas systems more productive without requiring additional fuel input. In a market where both time-to-power and fuel security matter, getting more value from existing gas infrastructure becomes part of the competitive equation. While many data center projects will continue to rely on conventional utility service, some of the largest digital loads in the economy are moving into a different category. They are no longer only buying electricity; they are competing for the fuel, contracts, and infrastructure that make electricity possible. For data centers, that changes how power is sourced, how sites are selected, how regulators respond, and how gas infrastructure is valued. For years, the central question was where the next data center could find enough power. Increasingly, the more important question may be where it can secure enough fuel.
