Mississippi electric utilities need a comprehensive plan to deal with the increased electrification of transportation. Charging stations and necessary infrastructure are opportunities for private, non-utility investment and partnerships with utilities. Mississippi must be ready.
With the enactment of SB2798, @EntergyMS and @MS_Power will be able, under PSC review, to lease their fiber infrastructure to broadband providers to connect homes in their territory. This bill will provide a real way to help modernize the grid and connect rural Mississippians.
BREAKING: The #msleg just made a strong statement and passed SB2798 by 119-3 in the House and 49-0 in the Senate to take an all hands on deck approach to expand broadband . Thanks goes to @DelbertHosemann@PhilipGunnMS@cs_bounds and @JoelCarterMS and those who supported SB2798.

To address misinformation circulating: There are NO plans for the government to order any kind of mandatory “shut down” of our state. All that has been done is a request to stay home as much as you can and to follow the guidelines of the CDC and MSDH.
