Operational Earnings Highlights for First Quarter 2010

·	Utility’s results were higher due to higher net revenue driven by increased sales volumes across all customer classes, including the effect of significantly colder-than-normal weather.

·	Entergy Nuclear’s earnings decreased as a result of lower net revenue resulting primarily from lower pricing, higher non-fuel operation and maintenance expense and a higher effective income tax rate.

·	Parent & Other’s results were higher due primarily to lower interest expense.

“Results for the quarter reflect an improving economy and its positive effects on our utility business, and the continuing volatility in commodity markets and its effect on our non-utility nuclear business,” said J. Wayne Leonard, Entergy’s chairman and chief executive officer. “Looking forward, we will remain focused on managing cash flows and operating within our risk capacity and stakeholders’ risk tolerance. We continue to believe our strategies drive long-term success and sustainability.”

Entergy’s business highlights include the following:

·	The Mississippi Public Service Commission approved revisions to Entergy Mississippi’s formula rate plan positioning the company to timely recover its business investments and bolstering its ability to provide safe, affordable and reliable power to its customers.

·	Entergy Texas achieved a unanimous settlement for an interim $17.5 million rate increase effective May 1, 2010. The settlement also calls for a final rate case order to be issued November 1, 2010, with permanent rates to be effective relating back to service rendered on / after September 13, 2010.

·	Entergy was awarded the Edison Electric Institute Emergency Recovery Award for the 12th consecutive year for its work restoring power following a destructive ice storm in Arkansas last year. Entergy is the only company to be honored every year since inception of the EEI awards in 1998.

Entergy will host a teleconference to discuss this release at 10 a.m. CT on Thursday, April 29, 2010, with access by telephone, 719-457-2080, confirmation code 3884569. The call and presentation slides can also be accessed via Entergy’s website at www.entergy.com.

I.	Consolidated Results

Consolidated Earnings

Table 2 provides a comparative summary of consolidated earnings per share for first quarter 2010 versus 2009, including a reconciliation of GAAP as-reported earnings to non-GAAP operational earnings. Utility’s earnings increased quarter-over-quarter as a result of higher net revenue due primarily to increased sales volumes across all customer classes, including significantly colder-than-normal weather. The effect of this increase was partially offset by higher non-fuel operation and maintenance expense and higher interest expense. Entergy Nuclear’s first quarter 2010 earnings were lower than last year as a result of lower net revenue due primarily to lower pricing. Also contributing to the lower results at Entergy Nuclear were increases in non-fuel operation and maintenance expense and a higher effective income tax rate. Partially offsetting was higher other income from decommissioning trusts. Parent and Other’s results improved in the current period compared to a year ago due primarily to lower interest expense. Beginning with first quarter 2010, Parent & Other includes the results from the non-nuclear wholesale assets business.

Detailed earnings variance analysis is included in Appendix A-1 to this release. In addition, Appendix A-2 provides details of special items shown in Table 2 above.

Consolidated Net Cash Flow Provided by Operating Activities

Entergy’s net cash flow provided by operating activities in first quarter 2010 was $674 million compared to $375 million in first quarter 2009. The overall quarterly increase was due primarily to:

·	the absence of hurricane and ice storm restoration spending of $314 million, which affected cash flow during first quarter 2009

·	higher net revenue at the Utility resulting from increased sales

Partially offsetting was:

·	a decrease in net deferred fuel recovery of $275 million at the Utility

Table 3 provides the components of net cash flow provided by operating activities contributed by each business with quarterly comparisons.

II.

Utility

In first quarter 2010, Utility’s as-reported and operational earnings were $0.73 per share compared to $0.56 per share on the same bases in first quarter 2009. Earnings for the Utility in the current quarter reflect higher net revenue due to increased sales across all customer classes and rate adjustments at Entergy Gulf States Louisiana, Entergy Louisiana and Entergy Mississippi under their formula rate plans. Significantly colder-than-normal weather was a key contributor to the increase in sales volume. Partially offsetting was higher non-fuel operation and maintenance expense resulting primarily from higher pension and benefits expense, as well as the absence of a nuclear insurance premium refund typically received from Nuclear Electric Insurance Limited included in first quarter results. In addition, higher interest expense associated with additional debt issuances served as another partial offset to the positive effect of higher net revenue during the quarter.

Electricity usage, in gigawatt-hour sales by customer segment, is included in Table 4. Current quarter sales reflect the following:

·	Residential sales in first quarter 2010, on a weather-adjusted basis, increased 3.9 percent compared to first quarter 2009.

·	Commercial and governmental sales, on a weather-adjusted basis, increased 3.2 percent year over year.

·	Industrial sales in the first quarter increased 7.3 percent compared to the same quarter of 2009.

Residential, commercial and industrial classes reflected sales growth as a result of increasing economic activity in Entergy’s service territory. The improvement in industrial sales in first quarter 2010 was driven by economic recovery that had a positive effect particularly in the chemicals, pulp and paper and primary metals sectors partially offset by a decline in refining due to maintenance outages. Small and mid-sized industrial customers began to also show signs of recovery as they benefited from global industrial expansion. As noted above, colder-than-normal weather provided a significant increase in sales volume.

Table 4 provides a comparative summary of the Utility’s operational performance measures.

III.	Entergy Nuclear

Entergy Nuclear earned $0.49 per share on an as-reported basis in first quarter 2010, compared to as-reported earnings of $0.91 per share in first quarter 2009. On an operational basis, first quarter 2010 Entergy Nuclear earnings were $0.78 per share versus $0.95 per share in the first quarter of the prior year. Entergy Nuclear’s operational earnings decreased as a result of lower net revenue due primarily to lower pricing. Contributing to the decrease in earnings were higher non-fuel operation and maintenance expense due primarily to tritium remediation work at the Vermont Yankee site, higher pension and benefits expense, refueling amortization expense, and insurance expense. A higher effective income tax rate also contributed to the decrease in results this quarter driven primarily by the change in tax laws associated with recently enacted federal health care legislation. Higher other income associated with decommissioning trusts provided an offset to decreased earnings.

Table 5 provides a comparative summary of Entergy Nuclear’s operational performance measures.

IV.	Parent & Other

Parent & Other reported a loss of $(0.10) per share on an as-reported basis in first quarter 2010 compared to an as-reported loss of $(0.27) per share in first quarter 2009. On an operational basis, Parent & Other reported a loss of $(0.18) per share in the current quarter and a loss of $(0.22) per share in first quarter 2009. Lower interest expense due to lower borrowings, including Parent debt redemptions, was the primary factor that resulted in the change in results at Parent & Other for the quarter.

V.	Other Financial Performance Highlights

Earnings Guidance

On April 15, 2010, Entergy revised its 2010 as-reported earnings guidance to a range of $5.95 to $6.80 per share from $6.15 to $6.95 per share to reflect the potential charge in connection with the previously announced business unwind of the internal organizations created for Enexus and EquaGen. This charge will be classified as a special item in 2010. The total potential charge estimated at $0.40 to $0.45 per share includes previously identified special items for spin-off dis-synergies and expenses for outside services provided to pursue the spin-off, for which $0.25 per share had already been reflected in as-reported earnings guidance. Entergy has initiated efforts to eliminate spin-off dis-synergies as soon as possible during 2010.

On an operational basis, Entergy affirmed its earnings per share guidance range of $6.40 to $7.20, which was based on the current business structure and excluded the special items described above. Year-over-year changes are shown as point estimates and are applied to 2009 earnings to compute the 2010 guidance midpoint. Drivers for the 2010 operational guidance range are listed separately. Because there is a range of possible outcomes associated with each earnings driver, a range is applied to the calculated guidance midpoints to produce Entergy’s guidance ranges for as-reported and operational earnings. The 2010 earnings guidance is detailed in Table 7 below.

	Revised 2010 As-Reported Earnings per Share Guidance Range	6.30	0.05 – 0.10	6.35 – 6.40	5.95 – 6.80

(e) Updated February 2010 to reflect 2009 final results and in April 2010 to reflect the special item for the total potential charge for the business unwind of Enexus and EquaGen.

Key assumptions supporting 2010 earnings guidance are as follows:

Utility, Parent & Other

·	Normal weather

·	Retail sales growth of around 4.5% on a weather adjusted basis; around 3% on a normalized basis excluding the effects of industrial expansion

·	Increased revenue associated with rate actions, including storm securitization which is offset by increased interest expense as noted below

·	Increased non-fuel operation and maintenance expense resulting from compensation and benefits expense and increased refueling outage amortization, largely offset by lower customer write-offs and the absence of 2009 storm related items

·	Increased depreciation associated with capital spending at the Utility

·	Decreased other income due to lower carrying charges and the absence of the 2009 gain on sale of land at the Utility

·	Increased interest expense associated with increased debt outstanding at the Utility, including storm securitization, partially offset by lower debt outstanding at the Parent

·	Break-even operations targeted for the non-nuclear wholesale assets business

·	Accretion / other is primarily driven by the effect of share repurchases in both 2009 and 2010

Entergy Nuclear

·	40 TWh of total output, reflecting an approximate 92 percent capacity factor, including 30 day refueling outages at Indian Point 2 and Vermont Yankee in Spring 2010 and FitzPatrick and Palisades in Fall 2010

·	88 percent of energy sold under existing contracts; 12 percent sold into the spot market

·	$57/MWh average energy contract price; $56/MWh average unsold energy price based on published market prices at the end of September 2009 (market prices have since declined with 2010 now averaging near $40 per MWh)

·	Palisades PPA revenue amortization of $46 million in 2010, down from $53 million in 2009

·	Non-fuel operation and maintenance expense, including refueling outage expense and purchased power, around $25/MWh resulting from increased compensation and benefits expense, higher NRC fees and increased refueling outage amortization

·	Increased depreciation associated with capital spending

·	Increased other income due primarily to the absence of 2009 decommissioning trust other than temporary impairments; earnings guidance does not incorporate assumptions for other than temporary impairments as financial market outcomes are outside of Entergy Nuclear’s control and difficult to predict

·	Offsetting effects of accretion / other are primarily driven by the effect of share repurchases in both 2009 and 2010, largely offset by a higher effective income tax rate in 2010

Share Repurchase Program

·	2010 average fully diluted shares outstanding of approximately 187 million (including effects of share repurchases in both 2009 and 2010)

Effective Income Tax Rate

·	2010 assumes an overall effective income tax rate of 36 percent

Revised 2010 As-Reported Earnings Guidance Range

In connection with the business unwind of the internal organizations for Enexus Energy Corporation and EquaGen LLC, the estimated range of a total potential charge of $0.40 to $0.45 per share reflects the write-off of capitalized costs incurred to date and certain other costs in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. This charge will be reported as a special item. The range for this charge also includes the previously identified special items for spin-off dis-synergies and expenses for outside services provided to pursue the spin-off in 2010.

Earnings guidance for 2010 should be considered in association with earnings sensitivities as shown in Table 8. These sensitivities illustrate the estimated change in operational earnings resulting from changes in various revenue and expense drivers. Traditionally, the most significant variables for earnings drivers are utility sales for Utility, Parent & Other and energy prices for Entergy Nuclear. The broader earnings guidance range for 2010 also takes into consideration the following:

·	A number of regulatory initiatives (rate actions) underway across the Utility jurisdictions

·	Timing flexibility for executing the share repurchase program across the year (guidance assumes execution on a ratable basis)

·	Potential outcomes for projected pension plan discount rate (guidance assumed 6.75%; actual is 6.1 – 6.3%)

Estimated annual impacts shown in Table 8 are intended to be indicative rather than precise guidance.

VI.	Long-term Financial Outlook

Overarching Financial Aspiration

Entergy continues to aspire to deliver superior value to owners as measured by total shareholder return. The company believes top-quartile total shareholder returns are achieved by:

·	Operating the business with the highest expectations and standards,

·	Executing on earnings growth opportunities while managing commodity and other business risks,

·	Delivering returns at or above the risk-adjusted cost of capital for each initiative, project, business, etc.,

·	Maintaining credit quality and flexibility,

·	Deploying capital in a disciplined manner, whether for new investments, share repurchases, dividends or debt retirements, and

·	Being disciplined as either a buyer or a seller consistent with the market or Entergy’s proprietary point-of-view.

Long-term Financial Outlook

Over the next five years, Entergy believes it offers a competitive utility investment opportunity combined with a valuable option represented by a unique, clean, non-utility nuclear generation business located in attractive power markets. Table 9 summarizes the current long-term financial outlook.

Table 9: Long-term Financial Outlook
Prepared April 2010

Category	Long-term Outlook	Assumption

Earnings	Utility net income	5 to 6 percent compound annual net income growth rate over the 2010 – 2014 horizon (2009 base year).

	Entergy Nuclear results	Revenue projections over the next five years are expected to routinely fluctuate based on commodity markets – one of the most important fundamental drivers for this business. While current forward power prices would show a decline in the long-term financial outlook for this business compared to 2010, Entergy Nuclear offers a valuable option taking into consideration the contango forward curve and the potential positive effects of an economic rebound (on market heat rates, capacity markets and natural gas prices), new legislation and / or regulation over the longer term.

	Corporate results	Results will vary depending upon factors including future effective income tax and interest rates, the amount of share repurchases and the ability to achieve the targeted break-even financial result for the non-nuclear wholesale assets business.

Capital Deployment	A balanced capital investment / return program	Entergy continues to see productive investment opportunities at the Utility in the coming years, as well as an investment outlook at Entergy Nuclear that supports continued safe, secure and reliable operations and opportunistic investments. Entergy aspires to fund this capital program without issuing traditional common equity, while maintaining a competitive capital return program. Given the company’s financial profile with a mix of utility and non-utility businesses, return of capital is expected to be provided similar to the past through a combination of common stock dividends and share repurchases. Absent other attractive investment opportunities, capital deployment through dividends and share repurchases could total as much as $5 billion over the next five years under the current long-term business outlook. The amount of share repurchases may vary as a result of material changes in business results or capital spending or new investment opportunities.

Credit Quality		Strong liquidity.

		Solid credit metrics that support ready access to capital on reasonable terms.

The long-term financial outlook should be considered in association with 2014 financial sensitivities as shown in Table 10. These sensitivities illustrate the estimated change in earnings or Adjusted EBITDA resulting from changes in business drivers. Estimated impacts shown in Table 10 are intended to be illustrative.

First Quarter
Weather	0.19
Sales growth/ pricing	0.08
Other	0.02
Total	0.29

(i)

The increase is due primarily to colder-than-normal weather during the current period. Also, higher pricing resulting from adjustments to the formula rate plans for Entergy Gulf States Louisiana, Entergy Louisiana and Entergy Mississippi, as well as an increase in weather-adjusted sales across all customer classes and jurisdictions, increased revenues during the period.

(j)

The decrease is due primarily to lower revenues at Entergy Nuclear in the current period resulting from lower pricing.

(k)

The increase is due to the absence in the current period of impairments recorded in first quarter 2009 associated with decommissioning trust fund investments.

(l)

The increase is due primarily to higher earnings resulting from sales of securities held in decommissioning trust investments.

(m)	The decrease is due to higher interest expense on increased debt borrowings.

(n)

The increase is due primarily to lower interest expense on lower parent borrowings including parent debt redemptions.

(o)

The decrease is due primarily to the change in tax law associated with recently enacted federal health care legislation.

Appendix A-2 lists special items by business with quarter-to-quarter comparisons. Amounts are shown on both earnings per share and net income bases. Special items are those events that are less routine, are related to prior periods, or are related to discontinued businesses. Special items are included in as-reported earnings per share consistent with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), but are excluded from operational earnings per share. As a result, operational earnings per share is considered a non-GAAP measure.

Entergy Arkansas Authorized ROE: 9.9% Last Filed Rate Base: $4.1 billion Filed 9/09 based on 6/30/09 test year, with known and measurable changes through 6/30/10	Rate Case Recent Activity: All testimony has been filed. Current APSC Staff position proposes a $49 million revenue requirement increase reflecting a 10.1% ROE and $10 million for the 2009 ice storm. In the event a Formula Rate Plan (FRP) is adopted, Staff recommends a further ROE reduction to 9.6%. EAI reduced its request to $168 million reflecting a lower ROE at 10.65% and the reduction to remove the revenue requirement associated with ice storm recovery from its case as discussed below. Also, on February 11, 2010, the APSC requested comments from parties in the rate case on various issues raised related to transmission cost recovery mechanisms. On March 3, 2010, EAI filed supplemental testimony regarding transmission costs and investments and potential recovery through a transmission rider or the proposed FRP. Background: On September 4, 2009, EAI filed a rate case requesting a $223.2 million increase reflecting an 11.5% ROE based on a June 30, 2009 test year with known and measurable changes through June 30, 2010. The filing also includes a proposed FRP. Key provisions include a +/- 25 basis point bandwidth, with earnings outside the bandwidth reset to the 11.5% midpoint ROE and rates changing on a prospective basis depending on whether EAI is over or under-earning. The proposed FRP also includes a recovery mechanism that provides timely recovery for APSC-approved expense for additional capacity purchases or construction / acquisition of new transmission or generating facilities. Finally, the proposed FRP includes an energy efficiency-related mechanism. Hearings are scheduled to begin in May 2010, with an effective date for new rates of July 2010. EAI implemented its last base rate change, a $5.1 million rate reduction, on August 29, 2007.
	Storm Cost Recovery Recent Activity: The Administrative Law Judge approved the establishment of EAI’s storm cost reserve account on April 16, 2010 using the annual amount of $14.449 million previously established. Hearings are scheduled in the securitization docket for April 29, 2010, and an APSC order is due no later than June 15, 2010. Since EAI’s analysis demonstrated that retail customers will benefit from lower costs using securitization versus conventional utility financing, EAI conditionally removed ice storm recovery from the pending rate case filing in its rebuttal testimony filed on March 24, 2010, pending authorization by the APSC to securitize these costs. Background: EAI incurred approximately $123 million in estimated restoration costs resulting from the severe ice storm that struck in January 2009. Considering the magnitude of the statewide storm damages, the Arkansas legislature passed legislation authorizing storm reserve accounting in March 2009, followed by the enactment of storm securitization legislation in April. Both pieces of legislation are effective for storms occurring on or after January 1, 2009. At the end of March 2009, EAI filed a petition with the APSC to establish storm reserve accounting pursuant to the legislation for which a hearing was scheduled for March 9, 2010. In the interim, the APSC approved on March 6, 2009 EAI’s application for an accounting order authorizing the deferral of the operation and maintenance cost portion of the ice storm restoration costs pending their recovery. As part of EAI’s September 4, 2009 rate case filing, EAI included the 2009 ice storm restoration costs in cost-of-service, indicating the ice storm restoration costs would be removed from the pending rate case if the APSC approved EAI’s request to securitize the ice storm costs. On February 1, 2010, EAI requested a financing order to issue approximately $127.5 million in storm recovery bonds which included carrying costs of $11.7 million and $4.6 million of up-front financing costs to pay for ice storm restoration.
	White Bluff Environmental Controls Project Recent Activity: On February 26, 2010, the APSC approved EAI’s request to withdraw its Act 310 application. On March 26, 2010, the Arkansas Pollution Control and Ecology Commission voted to grant EAI’s variance request from the state’s 2013 compliance date and tie the date to a compliance requirement within five years of the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s (U.S. EPA) approval of the state’s implementation plan. Background: In March 2009, EAI petitioned the APSC to undertake a project that would have installed scrubbers and low NOx burners at the co-owned White Bluff coal plant at an expected total cost of approximately $1.0 billion, and EAI’s share at $631 million, with estimates revised downward in October 2009 to $780 million, with EAI’s revised share at $465 million. White Bluff Units 1 and 2 had been required to meet more stringent SO2 and NOx limits by 2013 in order to comply with the Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) State Implementation Plan regulations implementing the U.S. EPA’s Regional Haze Rule. EAI conducted economic analysis comparing the project to other supply options and concluded the project was the lowest reasonable cost alternative. EAI had intended to recover the project costs pursuant to Act 310 through an interim rate schedule to be amended periodically. In December, the APSC suspended the procedural schedule following letters submitted by the U.S. EPA and the U.S. Department of Agriculture to the ADEQ regarding concerns about issuing draft air permits for the SO2 scrubbers and NOx controls. Later that month, EAI and other interested parties requested a variance from the state’s 2013 compliance date and suspended all work on the project. EAI also filed a notice of withdrawal of its Act 310 filing and refunded limited collections received to date in January.
	Show Cause Order Regarding System Agreement / Future Operation and Control of EAI’s Generation and Transmission Assets Recent Activity: In March, EAI filed testimony and participated in a hearing in response to the APSC Show Cause proceeding initiated in February 2010. Another hearing is scheduled to take place in May 2010 following the filing of additional testimony ordered by the APSC. Background: On February 11, 2010, the APSC issued a Show Cause order opening an inquiry to conduct an investigation, with the intent to render its decision by the end of 2010, regarding the prudence of EAI entering a successor Entergy System Agreement, as opposed to becoming a stand-alone entity upon exit from the System Agreement in December 2013, and whether EAI, as a stand-alone utility should join the Southwest Power Pool Regional Transmission Organization (SPP RTO) (the APSC subsequently added participation as a member in the Midwest ISO as an alternative to be evaluated). As a parallel matter, the APSC will also monitor whether Entergy will make any meaningful enhancements to its Independent Coordinator of Transmission (ICT) arrangement in 2010 with filings at FERC. EAI noted in its testimony

Entergy Arkansas (continued)	that it is not reasonable to complete a comprehensive evaluation of strategic options by the end of 2010 and that forcing a decision would place parties in the untenable position of making critical decisions based on insufficient information. EAI outlined three options for post-System Agreement operation of its electrical system: EAI Self Provide – as a stand-alone company for resource planning; EAI plus new Coordination Agreements with Third Parties – EAI self provides or contracts some functions, but also enters into one or more coordinating and / or pooling agreements with third parties, such as SPP RTO; and Successor Arrangements – EAI plans for its own generation resources but enters into a new generation agreement with other Entergy operating companies under a successor agreement that benefits all, but avoids the litigation previously experienced. EAI’s plan is expected to lead to a decision regarding critical path issues in late 2011; however, EAI anticipates several transition plan elements will move forward in 2010 and require ongoing dialogue. In an attempt to reach understanding of complex issues, EAI proposes to hold a series of five technical conferences in the coming months targeting specific subject matter. The initial technical conference is scheduled for May 5, 2010.
Entergy Gulf States Louisiana Authorized ROE Range: 9.9% - 11.4% (electric) Last Filed Rate Base: $2.2 billion (electric) Filed 12/09 based on 12/31/08 test year	Formula Rate Plan Recent Activity: Discovery continues on 2008 test year filing. EGSL will make its 2009 test year filing by May 31, 2010. Background: At its October 2009 Business and Executive Session, the LPSC approved an uncontested settlement extending the FRP regulatory process for an additional three years. The new FRP was adopted for the 2008-2010 test years and retains the 10.65% ROE midpoint with a +/- 75 basis point bandwidth and a recovery mechanism for Commission-approved capacity additions. Earnings outside the bandwidth are allocated prospectively, 60% to customers and 40% to the company. As part of the settlement, EGSL implemented a one-time rate reset to achieve its 10.65% midpoint ROE for the 2008 test year filing, which was filed October 21, 2009. This filing reflected an 8.64% earned ROE and total rate increase of $44.3 million, including a $36.9 million cost of service adjustment, plus $7.4 million net for increased capacity costs and a base rate reclassification. New rates took effect coincident with the November 2009 billing cycle and are subject to review and final approval by the LPSC. All parties also committed to work together to attempt to develop a transmission rider for EGSL with the latest schedule anticipating the LPSC could address this matter at its May 2010 Business and Executive session. In January, EGSL implemented a further $23.9 million rate increase pursuant to the special rate implementation filing made in December, primarily for incremental capacity costs approved by the LPSC. In addition, in December 2009, EGSL filed a joint application seeking LPSC approval for a $9.7 million revenue requirement to provide supplemental funding for the decommissioning trust maintained for the LPSC-regulated 70% share of River Bend, in response to the NRC notification of a projected shortfall of decommissioning funding assurance. Currently, EGSL has no funding in retail rates for decommissioning.
	Storm Cost Recovery Recent Activity: At its April 21, 2010 Business and Executive Session, the LPSC approved uncontested stipulated settlements resolving all issues in Phase I (level of storm cost recovery, level of recovery for storm reserves and the allocation of the revenue requirements associated with those amounts among retail customers) and Phases II and III (issuance of system restoration bonds, the structure of the proposed financings and non-shareholder capital contributions, system restoration charges and storm cost offset riders). Background: In lieu of seeking interim recovery, on October 9, 2008, EGSL accessed $85 million of storm reserves funded by securitized debt proceeds. On October 15, 2008, the LPSC approved EGSL’s request to defer and accrue carrying cost on unrecovered storm expenditures during the period the company seeks regulatory recovery. The approval was without prejudice to the ultimate resolution of the total amount of prudently incurred storm cost or final carrying cost rate. New financing legislation was not needed, as existing legislation extends to Gustav and Ike. EGSL initiated its storm recovery proceeding for hurricanes Gustav and Ike on May 11, 2009. EGSL also sought to replenish its storm reserve in the amount of $90 million. On September 29, 2009, EGSL filed its first and second supplemental and amending joint applications in the storm proceeding requesting that the LPSC approve and authorize alternative (Act 55) financing. EGSL expects significant potential financing savings from pursuing Act 55 alternative financing and plans to guarantee customer savings, consistent with the approach used for hurricanes Katrina and Rita. On December 30, 2009, EGSL entered into a black box stipulation agreement with the LPSC Staff that provided for total recoverable costs of nearly $234 million (greater than 98% of EGSL’s request) and permitted replenishing EGSL’s storm reserve in the amount of $90 million when Act 55 financing is accomplished.

Entergy Louisiana Authorized ROE Range: 9.45% - 11.05% Last Filed Rate Base: $2.9 billion Filed 10/09 based on 12/31/08 test year	Formula Rate Plan Recent Activity: At its April 21, 2010 Business and Executive Session, the LPSC accepted the joint LPSC Staff / ELL report indicating agreement to implement a prospective reduction in ELL’s rates of $144.4 thousand beginning with the May 2010 billing cycle and to refund $72.2 thousand plus judicial interest through the fuel adjustment clause. Further, ELL will move the recovery of approximately $12.5 million of capacity costs associated with EAI’s Wholesale Baseload Capacity Resource from fuel adjustment clause recovery to base rate recovery. ELL will make its 2009 test year filing by May 15, 2010. Background: At its October 2009 Business and Executive Session, the LPSC approved an uncontested settlement extending the FRP regulatory process for an additional three years. The new FRP was adopted for the 2008-2010 test years and retains the 10.25% ROE midpoint with a +/- 80 basis point bandwidth and a recovery mechanism for Commission-approved capacity additions. Earnings outside the bandwidth are allocated prospectively, 60% to customers and 40% to the company. As part of the settlement, ELL implemented the one-time rate reset noted previously to achieve its 10.25% midpoint ROE for the 2008 test year filing, which was filed October 21, 2009. This filing reflected a 9.35% earned ROE and total rate increase of $2.5 million, including a $16.3 million cost of service adjustment, less a $13.8 million net reduction for decreased capacity costs and a base rate reclassification. New rates took effect coincident with the November 2009 billing cycle and were subject to review and final approval by the LPSC. All parties also committed to work together to attempt to develop a transmission rider for ELL with latest schedule anticipating the LPSC could address this matter at its May 2010 Business and Executive session. In addition, in December 2009, ELL filed a joint application seeking LPSC approval for a $10.3 million revenue requirement to provide supplemental funding for the decommissioning trust maintained for the LPSC-jurisdictional portion of Waterford 3, in response to the NRC notification of a projected shortfall of decommissioning funding assurance. Currently, ELL has $2.2 million in retail rates for decommissioning.

Entergy Louisiana (continued)	Storm Cost Recovery Recent Activity: At its April 21, 2010 Business and Executive Session, the LPSC approved uncontested stipulated settlements resolving all issues in Phase I (level of storm cost recovery, level of recovery for storm reserves and the allocation of the revenue requirements associated with those amounts among retail customers) and Phases II and III (issuance of system restoration bonds, the structure of the proposed financings and non-shareholder capital contributions, system restoration charges and storm cost offset riders). Background: In lieu of seeking interim recovery, on October 9, 2008, ELL accessed $134 million of storm reserves funded by securitized debt proceeds. On October 15, 2008, the LPSC approved ELL’s request to defer and accrue carrying cost on unrecovered storm expenditures during the period the company seeks regulatory recovery. The approval was without prejudice to the ultimate resolution of the total amount of prudently incurred storm cost or final carrying cost rate. New financing legislation was not needed, as existing legislation extends to Gustav and Ike. ELL initiated its storm recovery proceeding for hurricanes Gustav and Ike on May 11, 2009. ELL also sought to replenish its storm reserve in the amount of $200 million. On September 29, 2009, ELL filed its first and second supplemental and amending joint applications in the storm proceeding requesting that the LPSC approve and authorize alternative (Act 55) financing.

Entergy Louisiana (continued)	Acadia Unit 2 Acquisition Recent Activity: Hearings are scheduled to begin in September 2010 pursuant to the procedural schedule established February 9, 2010. Consideration of the application at the January 2011 LPSC Business and Executive Session would accommodate a closing by the March 31, 2011 deadline triggering certain price increases. The Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act filing was made in March 2010. On April 9, 2010, the LPSC approved ELL and EGSL’s uncontested request concerning the limited-term Interim Tolling Agreement (ITA) associated with the Acadia acquisition. The ITA, originally scheduled to begin on May 1, 2010, is now anticipated to begin on June 1, 2010 to allow the companies time to appropriately address various regulatory considerations. Background: ELL signed a purchase and sale agreement to acquire the 580 MW Unit 2 of the Acadia Energy Center for $300 million ($517/kW). ELL proposes to acquire 100% of Acadia Unit 2 and a 50% ownership interest in the facility’s common assets. Cleco Power will serve as operator for the entire facility. ELL has committed to sell one third of the output to Entergy Gulf States Louisiana in accordance with terms and conditions detailed under the existing System Agreement. The purchase is contingent upon, among other things, obtaining necessary approvals, including full cost recovery, from various federal and state regulatory and permitting agencies and the filing of notification under Hart-Scott-Rodino antitrust law. Closing is expected to occur in early 2011. ELL has also entered into an Interim Tolling Agreement (ITA) to purchase the capacity and energy output of Acadia Unit 2. The ITA, originally scheduled to begin on May 1, 2010, is now anticipated to begin on June 1, 2010 to allow the companies time to appropriately address various regulatory considerations. On January 29, 2010, ELL initiated its Section 203 filing at FERC seeking authorization to acquire Power Block Two of the Acadia Energy Center from Acadia Power Partners, LLC.
	Little Gypsy Repowering Recent Activity: Discovery continues, and hearings are scheduled for October 2010. Background: In November 2007, the LPSC voted unanimously, subject to conditions, to approve ELL’s request to repower the 538 MW Little Gypsy unit to utilize CFB technology. The order also included a recovery provision for prudently incurred costs in the event circumstances changed materially. The project later experienced a delay resulting from the need to conduct additional environmental analysis (Maximum Achievable Control Technology application). The additional analysis estimated construction could commence by mid-year 2009 leading to a targeted in service date by mid-year 2013 and resulting in a project cost estimate increase to $1.76 billion. In March 2009, the LPSC issued an order directing ELL to temporarily suspend the project and file a report with the LPSC on the economic viability of the project and develop a recommendation regarding whether to delay the project for an extended time. In April 2009, ELL recommended to the LPSC that it continue the temporary project suspension and make a filing with the LPSC seeking a longer-term suspension (three years or more) of the project. In May 2009, the LPSC unanimously accepted ELL’s recommendation and issued an order finding that ELL’s decision to place the Little Gypsy project in longer-term suspension of 3 years or more was in the public interest and prudent, without prejudice to issues of prudence of timing of decisions, project management, whether ELL may recover project costs from retail customers and the manner of that recovery and whether the project should be canceled or abandoned as opposed to merely suspended. ELL dismissed its proceeding to recover cash earnings on Construction Work in Progress (CWIP) for the Little Gypsy project. In October 2009, ELL filed seeking LPSC authorization to cancel the Little Gypsy Unit 3 repowering project allowing ELL to cancel permits, eliminating the requirement to monitor the project for potential restart. This approach requires starting over should the decision be made to engage in a similar future project. In addition, ELL sought to recover cost incurred on a levelized five-year recovery basis to be trued up. In the event ELL’s costs exceed the authorized amount, ELL proposed that it be required to justify any additional recovery. Pursuant to the procedural schedule, in January 2010, ELL filed an updated cost estimate of nearly $215 million, including nearly $193 million of costs incurred through December 31, 2009 and $22 million of net cancellation / project termination costs including AFUDC through March 2011.

Entergy Mississippi Authorized ROE Range: 10.79% - 13.05% (subject to review / approval) Last Filed Rate Base: $1.5 billion Filed 3/10 based on 12/31/09 test year	Formula Rate Plan Recent Activity: On March 4, 2010, the MPSC approved modifications to EMI’s FRP that (1) aligns EMI’s FRP more closely with the FRPs of the other regulated gas and electric utilities in Mississippi, (2) resets the ROE and bandwidth based upon performance ratings, (3) rescores the performance adjustment factors, (4) eliminates the current $14.5 million revenue adjustment limit and changes the 2% of revenues limit to a 4% limit, with any adjustment over 2% requiring a hearing, and (5) directs EMI to phase-out the summer / winter rate differential in residential rates over two years. On March 15, 2010, EMI filed its first evaluation report under its new FRP for the 2009 test year. The filing reflected a 10.66% earned ROE and total rate increase of $11.8 million. The calculated 11.92% FRP midpoint ROE includes the benefit of a 0.76% performance incentive. The FRP calls for new rates to be implemented in the June 2010 billing cycle, subject to review and final approval by the MPSC. Background: EMI had been operating under a FRP last approved in December 2002. The FRP allowed the company’s earned ROE to increase or decrease within a bandwidth with no change in rates. Earnings outside the bandwidth were allocated 50% to customers and 50% to the company, but on a prospective basis only. The plan also provided for performance incentives that can increase or decrease the benchmark ROE by as much as 100 basis points. On June 30, 2009, the MPSC approved EMI’s 2008 FRP adjustment increase of $14.5 million effective July 1, 2009.
	Fuel Recovery / Attorney General Complaint Recent Activity: The MPSC continues to investigate issues associated with EMI fuel costs and claims raised by the Mississippi Attorney General (AG) going back some 30 years. On March 9, 2010, the MPSC established a Fuel Adjustment Clause (FAC) rulemaking to consider various issues, including an analysis of the advantages / disadvantages of using monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual FACs. A proposed rule is expected to be issued by May 20, 2010. On March 30, 2010, McFadden Consulting Group, Inc. presented their report on the management review of EMI’s fuel practices and procedures for the two year period October 2007 through September 2009. In the report, McFadden indicated that the fuel and purchased power costs for Mississippi are reasonable and at the lowest cost possible given the operations and design of the Entergy system. Background: The Commission has been reviewing state utilities’ practices and procedures, most notably related to fuel recovery. EMI understands the MPSC’s need to obtain more information about past Commission actions, system tariffs, and issues including fuel purchases, fuel costs and power generation needs, and will continue to work with the Commission to inform, respond to questions and develop alternative policies on tariffs if they are found to be in the best interests of customers and fairly balanced with other stakeholder rights. In addition, the AG issued civil investigative demands directed at EMI and other Entergy companies related to EMI’s FAC and other matters. The AG voluntarily dismissed this proceeding, and instead filed a complaint in state court in December 2008 against EMI and other Entergy companies alleging, among other things, violations of Mississippi statutes, fraud, and breach of good faith and fair dealing, and requesting an accounting and restitution. The litigation is wide ranging and relates to tariffs and procedures under which EMI obtains power in the wholesale market to meet electricity demand. EMI believes the complaint is unfounded, and should be resolved in the appropriate regulatory forum. On December 29, 2008, the affected Entergy companies filed to remove the AG’s suit to U.S. District Court where it is currently pending, and additionally answered the complaint and filed a counter-claim for injunctive and other relief based upon the Mississippi Public Utilities Act and the Federal Power Act. The AG has filed a pleading seeking to remand the case to state court. On February 10, 2009, an independent audit report commissioned by the MPSC to review fuel recovery was released. The report indicated that many of EMI’s fuel procurement and adjustment practices are sound and in the customers’ best interest. On June 30, 2009, the MPSC issued an order authorizing an audit of EMI’s FAC by an independent audit firm. The financial portion of the fuel audit undertaken at the request of the MPSC performed by Horne Group LLP for the years ended September 30, 2008 and 2009 does not recommend that any costs be disallowed for recovery. The January 2010 report did suggest that some costs (less than one percent of the $1.66 billion in fuel and purchased energy during the period) may have been more reasonably charged to customers through base rates rather than through fuel charges, but the report did not suggest that customers should not have paid for those costs. At the January 2010 MPSC open / public meeting, the Mississippi Public Utilities Staff stated that costs identified by Horne as excludable were indeed properly recoverable in EMI’s FAC.

Entergy New Orleans Authorized ROE Range: 10.7% - 11.5% (electric) 10.25% - 11.25% (gas) Last Filed Rate Base: $0.3 billion (electric) $0.1 billion (gas) Filed 7/08 based on 12/31/07 test year	Formula Rate Plan Recent activity: None. ENOI will make its 2009 test year filing by May 31, 2010. Background: A new three year FRP beginning with the 2009 test year was adopted in ENOI’s rate case settled in April 2009. Key provisions include an 11.1% electric ROE and a +/- 40 basis point bandwidth and a 10.75% gas ROE with a +/- 50 basis point bandwidth. Earnings outside the bandwidth reset to the midpoint ROE, with rates changing on a prospective basis depending on whether ENOI is over or under-earning. The FRP also includes a recovery mechanism for Council-approved capacity additions, plus provisions for extraordinary cost changes and force majeure. The FRP may be extended by the mutual agreement of ENOI and the City Council of New Orleans (CCNO). The settlement also implemented energy conservation and demand programs. Effective June 1, 2009, pursuant to its April rate case settlement, ENOI implemented a total electric bill reduction of $35.3 million, including conversion of the $10.6 million voluntary recovery credit to a permanent reduction and complete realignment of Grand Gulf recovery from fuel to base rates, and a $4.95 million gas rate increase. On September 17, 2009, the CCNO approved the Energy Smart Resolution. Energy Smart is the energy efficiency program that was filed pursuant to ENOI’s April 2009 rate case settlement.

Entergy Texas Authorized ROE: 10.0% Last Filed Rate Base: $1.6 billion Filed 12/09 based on 6/30/09 adjusted test year	Recent activity: On February 18, 2010, the Administrative Law Judge issued an order approving a unanimous settlement on interim rates and the procedural schedule reached on February 11, 2010 with the parties in the rate case. The settlement calls for an interim rate increase of $17.5 million to begin on May 1, 2010 and the withdrawal of the Purchased Power Recovery Factor (PCRF) docket pertaining to the Arkansas wholesale baseload (WBL) capacity. The procedural schedule calls for hearings in July 2010, with a final order to be issued November 1, 2010 and permanent rates to be effective relating back to service rendered on / after September 13, 2010. Background: ETI implemented a $46.7 million base rate increase pursuant to its black box rate case settlement effective January 28, 2009, for usage beginning December 19, 2008. ETI is in need of baseload resources, and EAI recently elected to offer its WBL capacity to the Entergy system as a three-year cost based deal beginning January 1, 2010. ETI projects that the purchase can save customers in the range of $9.5 to $16.0 million over three years. Given expected savings, on September 18, 2009, ETI had requested a cost recovery mechanism to recover the annual capacity costs of approximately $26 million through the PCRF until such time as the costs are reflected in rates after a general rate case or the transaction expires, whichever occurs first. On December 30, 2009, ETI filed a rate case requesting a $198.7 million increase reflecting an 11.5% ROE based on an adjusted June 30, 2009 test year. The filing includes a proposed cost of service adjustment (COSA) rider with a three year term beginning with the 2010 calendar test year. Key provisions include a +/- 15 basis point bandwidth, with earnings outside the bandwidth reset to the bottom or top of the band and rates changing prospectively depending upon whether ETI is over or under-earning. The annual change in revenue requirement is limited to a percentage change in Consumer Price Index for urban areas, and the FRP includes a provision for extraordinary events greater than $10 million per year which would be considered separately. The filing also proposes a purchased power recovery rider, a competitive generation service tariff and will establish test year baseline values to be used in the transmission cost recovery factor rider authorized for use by ETI in the 2009 legislative session. Finally, the rate case included a $2.8 million revenue requirement to provide supplemental funding for the decommissioning trust maintained for the 70% share of River Bend for which Texas retail customers have responsibility, in response to the NRC notification of a projected shortfall of decommissioning funding assurance.

System Energy Resources, Inc.	Recent activity: None. Background: 10.94% ROE approved by July 2001 FERC order. Last Filed Rate Base: $1.2 billion filed 12/31/09 in monthly cost of service filing

System Agreement	Recent activity: The Operating Companies continue to meet with Staffs and / or advisors of retail regulatory commissions to discuss a proposed framework for Successor Arrangements to the current System Agreement, which is being pursued in parallel with evaluation by the Entergy Regional State Committee (E-RSC) of the SPP RTO and modified Independent Coordinator of Transmission (ICT) alternatives. In early April, Entergy Corporation and the Entergy Operating Companies determined in connection with their decision-making process that it is appropriate to agree and commit that no Entergy Operating Company will enter voluntarily into successor arrangements with the other Entergy Operating Companies if its retail regulator finds successor arrangements are not in the public interest. Paper hearings concluded in February 2010 in the interruptible / curtailable case on the appropriateness of refunds resulting from changes in the treatment of interruptible load in the allocation of costs among the Operating Companies under the System Agreement. Resolution of this proceeding is expected to have implications regarding the question of whether FERC provided sufficient rationale for not ordering refunds in the System Agreement case; this issue as well as whether FERC impermissibly delayed implementation of the bandwidth remedy are also pending before the FERC. On a preliminary basis, the 2010 rough production cost equalization payment by EAI, based on calendar year 2009 production costs, was estimated at $70 million to be paid collectively to EGSL, ELL and ENOI. This payment reflects a reduction of approximately $320 million versus calendar year 2008 production costs, due primarily to lower natural gas prices. The actual payments / receipts will not be calculated until the Operating Companies' FERC Form 1s have been filed. On April 16, 2010, the LPSC made a filing at the FERC alleging that Entergy violated the System Agreement by permitting EAI to make non-requirements sales to non-affiliated third parties rather than making such energy available to the other utility Operating Companies’ customers. The LPSC filing also stated these non-requirements sales caused harm to the Operating Companies’ customers of $144.4 million over the period 2000-2009, and these customers should be compensated for this harm by Entergy’s shareholders. The Utility operating companies believe the LPSC’s allegations are without merit and are scheduled to file rebuttal testimony May 25. Background: The System Agreement case addresses the allocation of production costs among the Utility Operating Companies. In 2005, the FERC issued orders that require each Operating Company’s production costs to be within + / - 11% of System average production costs and set 2007 as the first possible year of payments among Entergy’s Operating Companies, based on calendar year 2006 actual production costs. Upon appeal, the DC Circuit remanded to the FERC for reconsideration of the FERC's conclusion it did not have the authority to order refunds and the decision to delay the implementation of the bandwidth remedy. The remand is pending at FERC. Bandwidth filings for the calendar years 2006 through 2008 production costs required payments from EAI to various other Operating Companies of approximately $252 million, $252 million and $390 million for test years 2006, 2007 and 2008 respectively. FERC set each of these bandwidth filings for hearing following protests from retail regulatory commissions and / or third parties. A final order in the bandwidth proceeding related to 2006 calendar year production costs has been issued by the FERC, and requests for rehearing and clarification have been filed. Bandwidth proceedings based on 2007 and 2008 calendar year production costs remain outstanding. The System Agreement has been and continues to be the subject of ongoing litigation. As a result, EAI and EMI submitted their eight year notices to withdraw from the System Agreement effective December 2013 and November 2015, respectively. On November 19, 2009, FERC accepted notices of cancellation and determined EAI and EMI are permitted

System Agreement (continued)	to withdraw from the System Agreement following the 96 month notice period without payment of a fee or being required to otherwise compensate the remaining Entergy Operating Companies as a result of withdrawal. FERC stated it expected Entergy and all interested parties to move forward and develop details of all needed successor arrangements and encouraged Entergy to file its Section 205 filing for post 2013 arrangements as soon as possible. The LPSC and CCNO have requested rehearing of the FERC’s decision. EAI continues to evaluate alternatives, including stand-alone operation of its generation facilities, EAI participating as a member of the SPP RTO or Midwest ISO and potential Successor Arrangements.

Independent Coordinator of Transmission Authorized ROE: 11.0%(q) Last Filed Rate Base: $2.1 billion (r) Filed 5/09 based on 12/31/08 test year	Recent activity: The E-RSC is generally conducting meetings monthly and in March 2010 selected the consulting firm ESPY Energy Solutions to assist in their evaluations. In March 2010, FERC also selected Charles Rivers & Associates to perform the cost-benefit analysis associated with the current ICT versus SPP RTO evaluation. Background: In November 2006, the Utility Operating Companies installed SPP as their ICT with an initial term of four years unless Entergy files and the FERC approves an extension beyond that four year period. The Operating Companies did not transfer control of the transmission system but rather vested the ICT with responsibility, among others, for granting or denying transmission service, administering the OASIS node, developing a base plan for the transmission system that is used to determine whether costs of transmission upgrades should be rolled into transmission rates or directly assigned to customers requesting or causing the upgrade to be built, serving as reliability coordinator the transmission system and overseeing the WPP. In its November 17, 2009 FERC filing, in anticipation of the expiration of the initial term of the ICT, a process was proposed for the evaluation of modifications to, or the replacement of, the current ICT and Weekly Procurement Process (WPP) arrangements. The process will facilitate review by the FERC, Entergy’s retail regulators, and interested stakeholders of two primary alternatives; 1) the adoption of certain modifications to the current ICT arrangements, or 2) a transition to membership in the SPP RTO. A critical factor in the Operating Companies’ proposal will be the opinion and recommendation of the E-RSC formed in the Fall of 2009, including one representative from each of the Entergy Operating Company retail regulators, to consider several of the issues related to the Entergy transmission system. The Utility Operating Companies expect that the E-RSC will reflect in its evaluation process the cost-benefit analysis that is being jointly sponsored by the E-RSC and FERC that will compare the current ICT arrangement to joining the SPP RTO. The target date for completion of the cost-benefit analysis is third quarter 2010. In addition, the E-RSC is currently considering potential modifications to the ICT arrangement, including, among others, providing the E-RSC with authority (upon a unanimous vote) to (1) require the Entergy Operating Companies to file with the FERC proposed modifications to the cost allocation policy for transmission upgrades and (2) add projects to the Operating Companies’ transmission construction plan. It is anticipated certain potential modifications to the ICT will be implemented in November 2010, with other potential modifications being considered if the ICT is ultimately determined to be the appropriate longer term option. If the SPP RTO is ultimately deemed the preferred alternative, SPP has indicated the implementation process may take at least 12-18 months after a decision is made. While alternatives are being explored, Entergy has already taken the voluntary step to more closely align its transmission planning criteria with the anticipated modifications to the NERC planning standards. Entergy believes that the current ICT arrangements have produced benefits, and, if modified as a result of this process, can continue to benefit customers and competition. The SPP RTO alternative also has the potential to produce benefits. The progress of cost-benefit analysis will be closely monitored, including its treatment of the costs associated with any socialization of transmission upgrades constructed to integrate wind development.

(q) Applies to sales made under Entergy’s FERC jurisdictional Open Access Transmission Tariff.

(r) Reflects transmission rate base in Entergy’s FERC OATT filing, for which such amounts are also reflected in the rate base figures for each of the Operating Companies shown above.
