This resolution commemorates the 40th anniversary of Entergy's Grand Gulf Nuclear Station in Port Gibson, Mississippi, honoring its leadership and employees. It acknowledges the station's vital role in providing safe, low-cost, reliable, and low-emission electricity to approximately half a million Mississippians since 1985. The Grand Gulf Nuclear Station, the State's only nuclear plant, is a significant source of baseload power, generating about 16 percent of Mississippi's electricity without greenhouse gas emissions. Following a 2012 power upgrade, it became the largest single-unit nuclear powerplant in the United States, with an operating license extended through 2044. Furthermore, the station is a major economic contributor, employing over 800 highly skilled individuals with an annual payroll exceeding $113 million and contributing approximately $30 million in State and local taxes. Its provision of affordable electric energy has also been instrumental in attracting new industry and fostering business expansion across the state.
