Entergy Corporation has demolished the retired Baxter Wilson Steam Electric Station near Vicksburg to make way for the new Vicksburg Advanced Power Station. The upcoming advanced natural gas power plant is currently under construction and is expected to become operational in August 2028. This project is part of Entergy Mississippi's "Superpower Mississippi" initiative, aimed at modernizing the power grid to provide more efficient and cost-effective electricity to customers. The new facility will help meet rising energy demands driven by economic growth and new commercial and industrial projects in the region. Entergy continues to own the site and is committed to supporting the Vicksburg community with modern infrastructure for generations to come.
