Entergy Louisiana LLC plans to hold the 1,199.8-megawatt (MW) Waterford 03 ST unit at its Waterford Three Nuclear Power Station in Louisiana at around 92% to 94% of capacity for the time being. Following a fire at the main and startup transformer, a refurbished transformer took their place, but it cannot handle the full output of the unit generator. Sources expect to replace the transformer two years from now. However, sources will be discussing future plans after a scheduled refueling in spring 2025, meaning they could possibly replace the transformer right after the refueling maintenance.
