Louisiana Economic Development’s January 2023 groundbreaking release publishes US$750 million capital investment for the specific Magnolia plant, originally described as approximately 700 MW. EIA August 2026 reports new operating generators with a 722.9 MW nameplate sum. Operator/project nominal output and EIA nameplate are different rating conventions.

Magnolia Power Generating Station: 722.9 MW generating project rating. 722.9 MW EIA new operating-unit nameplate sum; original operator nominal rating approximately 700 MW
Kindle’s Magnolia case study identifies December 2025 completion; EIA August 2026 reports recent operation. The proposed second expansion in a broader GEM grouping is excluded.
Scope and evidence
Retained only with documented physical construction, commissioning or 2025–2026 opening and published project-specific costs and electrical output. Costs use the published scope and currency; no benchmark estimates or currency conversions. MW is power capacity, not annual electricity production. Expected annual energy, where given, is a forecast. The map point is a reported plant/project location and may be approximate. Matching inventory views and excluded expansion proposals are not additive capacity.

Something missing or wrong? Say it in your own words: a link that backs this pin up, a different start or end date and why, or a fact it lacks or gets wrong. The AI checks it against this pin's sources, searches for better ones, and adds any page that backs you up. The pin's own sources still count most. A picture that shows something else, or shows it badly, is looked at too, and moved down or replaced.
