Operational Earnings Highlights for Second Quarter 2011
 
·  
Utility’s results were higher due primarily to higher sales volume and pricing adjustments from previous rate actions, as well as lower interest expense.
·  
Entergy Wholesale Commodities’ earnings declined as a result of lower net revenue primarily from lower pricing on the nuclear fleet as well as a higher effective income tax rate.
·  
Parent & Other’s results were higher due to lower income tax expense on Parent & Other activities.

“The Utility business continued on track to achieve its asset portfolio objectives with regulatory filings for a new 550-megawatt combined-cycle gas-fired unit at our Ninemile Point plant site and the pending acquisitions of the 620-megawatt Hot Spring and 450-megawatt Hinds existing combined-cycle plants,” said J. Wayne Leonard, Entergy’s chairman and chief executive officer.  “These highly efficient facilities will provide reliable, low-cost energy to serve the growing needs of our customers while reducing the overall consumption of fossil fuels.  At Entergy Wholesale Commodities, license renewal efforts continued.  We also announced that we will proceed with the 29th refueling outage at Vermont Yankee following a careful review of the merits of our case and the record from the most recent hearing in Federal District Court.

“We continue to work with regulators to gain approval to join the MISO regional transmission organization that would stretch from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico,” Leonard said.  “Despite the various hurdles we still face to accomplish our major initiatives, we believe 2011 is shaping up to be a transformational year in achieving our corporate strategy.”

Entergy’s business highlights include the following:
 
·  
All Utility operating companies filed reports with retail regulators outlining expected benefits of joining MISO.
·  
Entergy Wholesale Commodities announced the sale to Con Edison of 500 MWs of unit and license renewal contingent energy and firm capacity from the Indian Point Energy Center for a five year term beginning in 2013.
·  
The New York Public Service Commission issued an order resolving the Show Cause proceeding related to notification requirements.
·  
Entergy announced that the company’s board of directors voted to approve the fabrication of fuel and the refueling of the Vermont Yankee nuclear power plant in October.

Entergy will host a teleconference to discuss this release at 10 a.m. CT on Tuesday, August 2, 2011, with access by telephone, (719) 457-2080, confirmation code 8424061.  The call and presentation slides can also be accessed via Entergy’s website at www.entergy.com.  A replay of the teleconference will be available through August 9, 2011, by dialing (719) 457-0820, confirmation code 8424061.  The replay will also be available on Entergy’s website at www.entergy.com.

Consolidated Results

Consolidated Earnings

Table 2 provides a comparative summary of consolidated earnings per share for second quarter and year-to-date 2011 versus 2010, 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 to increased retail sales volume as well as pricing adjustments from previous rate actions.  Lower interest expense also contributed to the higher Utility earnings.  Entergy Wholesale Commodities’ second quarter 2011 operational earnings were lower than the same quarter last year as a result of lower net revenue due primarily to lower pricing.  Also contributing to the lower operational results at Entergy Wholesale Commodities was a higher effective income tax rate.  Parent and Other’s operational results increased in the current period compared to a year ago due primarily to lower income tax expense on Parent & Other activities.  Entergy’s results for the current period also reflect the positive effect of accretion associated with the company’s share repurchase programs.

Consolidated Net Cash Flow Provided by Operating Activities

Entergy’s net cash flow provided by operating activities in second quarter 2011 was $654 million compared to $794 million in second quarter 2010.  The overall quarterly decrease was due primarily to:
 
·  
Decreased deferred fuel cost collections
·  
A reduction in Entergy Wholesale Commodities’ net revenue

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

II.  
Utility

In second quarter 2011, Utility’s as-reported and operational earnings were $1.39 per share compared to $1.18 per share on the same bases in second quarter 2010.  Earnings for the Utility in the current quarter reflect higher net revenue due to increased sales volume, including the effects of significantly warmer-than-normal weather, and the net effect of rate adjustments at Entergy Arkansas, Entergy Texas and Entergy New Orleans.  Lower interest expense resulting from refinancing of long-term debt at lower interest rates as well as the absence of an interest charge recorded on a fuel audit refund in 2010 also contributed to the Utility’s earnings increase.

Electricity usage, in gigawatt-hour sales by customer segment, is included in Table 4.  Current quarter sales reflect the following:
 
·  
Residential sales in second quarter 2011, on a weather-adjusted basis, decreased 0.5 percent compared to second quarter 2010.
·  
Commercial and governmental sales, on a weather-adjusted basis, increased 0.3 percent quarter over quarter.
·  
Industrial sales in the second quarter increased 2.8 percent compared to the same quarter of 2010.

Retail sales growth was positive for the quarter at 2.9 percent, or 1.1 percent on a weather-adjusted basis.  Results were mixed across the jurisdictions.  Entergy Texas produced the strongest sales growth, including a 15.1 percent increase in industrial sales due largely to expansions.  Entergy Arkansas sales were down slightly compared to the same period a year ago with a decrease in industrial sales.  Residential sales increased 3.7 percent as compared to the second quarter of 2010, but were slightly below last year on a weather-adjusted basis, reflecting an increase in the number of customers but a decrease in the usage per customer.  Industrial sales growth leveled off somewhat after significant growth since the beginning of 2010.  Entergy’s service territory continues to benefit from expansions, while there has been some pullback in the paper and wood segments and small industrials.

Entergy Wholesale Commodities

Entergy Wholesale Commodities earned $0.36 per share on as-reported and operational bases in second quarter 2011, compared to as-reported earnings of $0.55 per share and operational earnings of $0.63 per share in second quarter 2010.  Entergy Wholesale Commodities’ operational earnings declined largely as a result of lower net revenue with decreased pricing.  A higher effective income tax rate resulting from changes in Michigan tax law stemming from legislation enacted in May 2011 also contributed to the Entergy Wholesale Commodities’ earnings decline.

Table 5 provides a comparative summary of Entergy Wholesale Commodities’ operational performance measures.

(c)
 A portion of EWC’s total planned generation sold forward through March 2012 is associated with the Vermont Yankee contract, for which pricing may be adjusted.
(d)
Average revenue under contract may fluctuate due to factors including positive or negative basis differentials, option premiums and market prices at time of option expiration, costs to convert Firm LD to unit-contingent and other risk management costs.  Also, average revenue under contract excludes payments owed under the value sharing agreement with the New York Power Authority.

IV.  
Parent & Other

Parent & Other reported as-reported and operational earnings of $0.01 per share in second quarter 2011 compared to a loss of $(0.08) per share on an as-reported basis and $(0.10) per share on an operational basis in the second quarter of 2010.  Lower income tax expense on Parent & Other activities was the primary factor driving results for the quarter.  Income tax expense was lower due to reversal of a tax reserve.

V.  
2011 Earnings Guidance

Entergy affirmed its 2011 earnings guidance in the range of $6.35 to $6.85 per share on both as-reported and operational bases.  Year-over-year changes are shown as point estimates and are applied to 2010 earnings to compute the 2011 guidance midpoint.  Drivers for the 2011 guidance range are listed separately.  Because there is a range of possible outcomes associated with each earnings driver, a range is applied to the guidance midpoint to produce Entergy’s guidance range.  The 2011 earnings guidance is detailed in Table 7 below.

  Updated February 2011 to reflect 2010 final results.

Key assumptions supporting 2011 earnings guidance are as follows:

Utility
·  
Normal weather
·  
Retail sales growth of around 2 percent on a weather-adjusted basis; around 1 percent on a normalized basis excluding the effects of industrial expansion and cogen loss
·  
Increased revenue associated with rate actions
·  
Decreased non-fuel operation and maintenance expense resulting largely from lower compensation and benefits costs (including lower expense associated with employee stock options, which is offset in Parent & Other)
·  
Increased depreciation expense associated with capital spending at the Utility, partially offset by new depreciation rates established in the Entergy Arkansas rate case effective July 2010
·  
Increased other income largely due to affiliate dividend income arising out of the use of proceeds from storm cost financings in Louisiana, offset at Parent & Other
·  
Lower effective income tax rate in 2011
·  
Accretion / other primarily driven by the effect of 2010 share repurchases

Entergy Wholesale Commodities
·  
41 TWh of total output for the EWC nuclear fleet, reflecting an approximate 93 percent capacity factor, including 30 day refueling outages at Pilgrim and Indian Point 3 in Spring 2011 and Vermont Yankee in Fall 2011
·  
95 percent of energy sold under existing contracts and 5 percent sold into the spot market for the EWC nuclear fleet
·  
$53/MWh average energy contract price and $40/MWh average unsold energy price based on published market prices at the end of September 2010 for the EWC nuclear fleet; average energy price for unsold volume based on prices as of the end of June 2011 is around $45/MWh
·  
$3.0/kW-month average capacity contract price and $1.2/kW-month average unsold capacity price based on published market prices at the end of September 2010 for the EWC nuclear fleet; average capacity price for unsold volume based on prices as of the end of June 2011 is approximately $0.4/kW-month
·  
Increased nuclear fuel expense reflected in net revenue
·  
Non-fuel operation and maintenance expense for nuclear operations, including refueling outage expense and purchased power, around $25/MWh reflecting slightly higher compensation and benefits costs due in part to a long-term workforce planning initiative and other general expense increases, offset by the absence of spending associated with remediation of the tritium leak at Vermont Yankee and the write-off of capitalized engineering costs associated with a potential uprate project in 2010
·  
Increased depreciation expense on nuclear assets associated with capital spending
·  
Higher effective income tax rate in 2011
·  
Flat year-over-year results for the balance of EWC’s business, consisting primarily of the non-nuclear generation portfolio
·  
Accretion / other including the effect of 2010 share repurchases

Parent & Other
·  
Increased Parent non-fuel operation and maintenance expense due primarily to the offset of lower intercompany employee stock option expense at Utility
·  
Higher Parent interest expense due to $1 billion permanent debt issued in September 2010, with proceeds used to pay down lower-cost revolving credit facility
·  
Increased preferred dividend requirements largely due to affiliate dividend income at Utility described above
·  
Accretion / other includes the effect of 2010 share repurchases and lower effective income tax rate in 2011

Share Repurchase Program
·  
2011 average fully diluted shares outstanding of approximately 180 million, assuming completion of the $750 million repurchase program in 2010; does not assume any repurchases under the incremental $500 million share repurchase authority approved by the Board of Directors in October 2010

Other
·  
Overall effective income tax rate of 35 percent in 2011
·  
Pension discount rate of 6.1 percent (the final pension discount rate is 5.6 – 5.7 percent)

Earnings guidance for 2011 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 and energy prices for Entergy Wholesale Commodities.  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 return is 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

Entergy believes it offers a long-term, competitive utility investment opportunity combined with a valuable option represented by a unique, clean, non-utility generation business located in attractive power markets.  Table 9 summarizes the long-term financial outlook for 2010 through 2014.

Long-term Outlook
Assumption
     
Earnings
Utility net income
6 to 8 percent compound annual net income growth rate over the 2010 – 2014 horizon (2009 base year).
     
 
Entergy Wholesale Commodities results
Revenue projections through 2014 will experience increased volatility due to commodity market activities – one of the most important fundamental drivers for this business.  At current sold and forward prices with its existing asset portfolio and in-the-money hedges that will roll off in the coming few years, EWC is expected to deliver declining adjusted EBITDA for the period through 2014 compared to 2010.  However, Entergy Wholesale Commodities offers a valuable long-term option from the potential positive effects of ongoing economic growth (driving increased load, market heat rates, capacity prices and natural gas prices), new environmental legislation and/or enforcement of additional environmental regulation.
     
 
Corporate results
Results will vary depending upon factors including future effective income tax and interest rates and the amount / timing of share repurchases.
     
Capital Deployment
A balanced capital investment / return program
Entergy continues to see value-added investment opportunities at the Utility in the coming years, as well as an investment outlook at Entergy Wholesale Commodities 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 $4 – $5 billion from 2010 – 2014 under the current long-term business outlook.  The amount of share repurchases may vary as a result of material changes in business results, 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.

(i)
The current quarter decrease is due primarily to changes in Michigan tax law stemming from legislation enacted in May 2011.
 
 
(j)
The increase in the current quarter and year-to-date is due primarily to the reversal of a tax reserve.  The year-to-date as-reported increase is partially offset by absence of the tax benefits recorded in the first quarter 2010 in connection with the non-utility spin-off business unwind decision.
 
 
(k)
The increase reflects accretion from Entergy’s share repurchase programs.
 
 
(l)
The increase in the quarter and year-to-date periods is due primarily to favorable debt refinancing and the absence of interest recorded on a fuel audit refund in the second quarter of 2010.
 
 
(m)
The current quarter and year-to-date increase is due to higher affiliate dividend income with Parent & Other arising out of the use of proceeds from Louisiana storm cost financings, partially offset by the absence of storm-related carrying charges recorded in 2010; the current quarter increase is also partly due to higher earnings on decommissioning trust investments, which is offset in Utility net revenue.
 
 
(n)
The as-reported increase in the quarter and year-to-date periods is due primarily to the absence of expenses recorded in 2010 associated with the non-utility nuclear spin-off and business unwind decision.
 
 
(o)
The as-reported decrease in the quarter is due primarily to the absence of an expense reduction recorded in 2010 associated with the non-utility nuclear spin-off and business unwind decision.
 
 
(p)
The decrease in the current quarter and year to date is due primarily to lower pricing.  The year-to-date decrease is also attributable to lower volume, reflecting the effects of increased outage days for EWC’s nuclear fleet.
 
 
(q)
The year-to-date increase is due to favorable book and tax differences, such as depreciation and flow through items.
 
 
(r)
The decrease year-to-date is due primarily to higher interest rates on $1 billion of Parent notes issued in September 2010.
 
 
(s)
The year-to-date decrease is due primarily to lower affiliate interest income (offset at Parent & Other) and lower realized gains on decommissioning trust investments.
 
 
(t)
The decrease year-to-date is due to the elimination of higher affiliate dividend income at the Utility as described in (o), partially offset by the elimination of lower affiliate interest income as described in (u).
 
 
(u)
The year-to-date decrease is due primarily to higher Nuclear, Legal, and Energy Delivery function spending, partially offset by lower Fossil spending resulting from fewer outages in the first half of 2011 as compared to 2010 and nuclear insurance refunds received in 2011.

Pending Cases / Events
Retail Regulation
Entergy Arkansas
Authorized ROE: 10.2%
Last Filed Rate Base:
$4.0 billion filed 6/10  based on 6/30/09 test yr, with known and measurable changes through 6/30/10
 
 
Rate Case Recent Activity:  None.
Background:  EAI implemented a $63.7 million rate increase in the first billing cycle of July 2010 pursuant to the settlement approved by the Arkansas Public Service Commission (APSC) in June 2010, which authorized a 10.2 percent allowed return on equity.
System Agreement / RTO Investigation Docket Recent Activity:  On May 12, 2011, EAI filed “An Evaluation of the Alternative Transmission Arrangements Available to the Entergy Operating Companies and Support for Proposal to Join MISO.” The target implementation date for joining the Midwest Independent System Operator (MISO) is December 2013, concurrent with EAI’s exit of the system agreement.  Two contingency plans for post-system agreement readiness were also presented reflecting EAI-only joining MISO and EAI operating as a standalone balancing authority within the Independent Coordinator of Transmission (ICT) arrangement. Since then, the company has participated in technical conferences and meetings and provided additional details on the analysis, including an explanation of the EAI-specific costs and benefits, timeline for implementation, and description of internal and external approvals for each of EAI’s viable options for post-System Agreement operations. An evidentiary hearing is scheduled for September 7, 2011. The APSC indicated they expect to issue an order well in advance of December 18, 2011. In addition, EAI expects to submit change of control filings later this year. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) filings to establish the Entergy zonal rate under the MISO Open Access Transmission Tariff are targeted for late 2012 or early 2013.
Background:  On February 11, 2010, the APSC issued a Show Cause order opening an inquiry into EAI’s transition plans for post-system agreement operation. On April 25, 2011, Entergy announced that, after comprehensive review and analysis, the company concluded that joining MISO will provide meaningful long-term benefits for the customers of the Entergy operating companies.
 
Hot Spring Acquisition Recent Activity:  On July 15, 2011, EAI filed an application with the APSC seeking approval of the Hot Spring acquisition and rider recovery concurrent with closing of the acquisition. This filing follows notification on June 13, 2011 of approval of the sale by KGen shareholders.
Background:  On April 29, 2011, EAI announced that it signed an asset purchase agreement to acquire the Hot Spring Energy Facility (Hot Spring), a 620 MW natural gas-fired combined-cycle turbine plant located in Hot Spring County, Arkansas, from KGen Hot Spring LLC, a subsidiary of KGen Power Corporation. The total expected cost is $277 million (or $447/kW) including the purchase price of approximately $253 million (or $408/kW) and planned plant upgrades, transaction costs, and contingencies and excluding transmission upgrades (a transmission study estimates that the acquisition could require investment for supplemental upgrades to Entergy’s transmission system, but there are uncertainties to be resolved associated with the results of this study).  The purchase is contingent upon, among other things, obtaining necessary approvals (including full cost recovery) from various federal and state regulatory and permitting agencies. These include regulatory approvals from the APSC and FERC, as well as clearance under the Hart-Scott-Rodino anti-trust law. Assuming timely regulatory approvals and the satisfaction of all other closing conditions, closing is expected to occur in mid-2012.
Entergy Gulf States Louisiana
Authorized ROE Range:
9.9% - 11.4% (electric)
10.0% - 11.0% (gas)
Last Filed Rate Base:              $2.4 billion (electric) filed 5/11 based on 12/31/10 test yr
$0.05 billion (gas) filed 4/11 based on 9/30/10 test yr
Formula Rate Plan Recent Activity:  On May 27, 2011, EGSL filed its 2010 test year formula rate plan (FRP). The ROE reflected in the filing was 11.11 percent, within the earnings bandwidth resulting in no cost of service rate change. The filing also reflected a $22.8 million decrease outside of the FRP sharing mechanism for capacity costs.  In addition, EGSL is in discussions with the Louisiana Public Service Commission (LPSC) Staff regarding the renewal or extension of the FRP. The LPSC would be required to approve any such renewal or extension.
Background:  At its October 2009 Business and Executive (B&E) session, the LPSC approved an uncontested settlement which, among other things, extended the FRP regulatory process for an additional three years. The new FRP was adopted for the 2008-2010 test years and retained the 10.65 percent 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 percent to customers and 40 percent to the company. As part of the settlement, all parties also committed to work together to attempt to develop a transmission rider for EGSL. In response to a depreciation rate complaint filed at FERC by the LPSC, EGSL presented in its 2009 test year FRP filing two ancillary FRP filing proposals based on a new depreciation study that increased depreciation rates and related FRP revenues by either $45.3 million (assuming a 40 year River Bend life) or $24.4 million (60 year life). The depreciation matter raised by the ancillary filing and the transmission rider remain outstanding.

$3.2 billion filed 5/11 based on 12/31/10 test yr
Formula Rate Plan Recent Activity: On May 13, 2011, ELL filed its 2010 test year FRP. The ROE reflected in the filing was 11.07 percent, within the 0.05 percent tolerance above the earnings bandwidth resulting in no cost of service rate change. Capacity costs were essentially unchanged.  In addition, ELL is in discussions with the LPSC Staff regarding the renewal or extension of the FRP. The LPSC would be required to approve any such renewal or extension.
Background:  At its October 2009 B&E session, the LPSC approved an uncontested settlement which, among other things, extended the FRP regulatory process for an additional three years. The new FRP was adopted for the 2008-2010 test years and retained the 10.25 percent 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 percent to customers and 40 percent to the company. As part of the settlement, all parties also committed to work together to attempt to develop a transmission rider for ELL. In response to a depreciation rate complaint filed at FERC by the LPSC, ELL presented in its 2009 test year FRP filing two ancillary FRP filing proposals based on a new depreciation study that increased depreciation rates and related FRP revenues by either $96.4 million (assuming a 40 year Waterford 3 life) or $40.5 million (60 year life). The depreciation matter raised by the ancillary filing and the transmission rider remain outstanding.
 
Little Gypsy Repowering Recent Activity:  On June 1, 2011, the LPSC issued an order approving cancellation of the Little Gypsy 3 repowering project. The order also permitted ELL to securitize $200 million of investment recovery costs; carrying costs through the date that bonds are issued at the annual rate of 4 percent from March 30, 2011 through September 30, 2011, and 6.59 percent if bonds are issued after September 30, 2011; and upfront bond issuance costs. On July 21, 2011, ELL requested that the LPSC re-approve and re-issue a Financing Order to securitize investment recovery (previously approved in a June 24, 2011 Order) due to a technical error in the publication of required legal notices. The securitization financing is now targeted to be completed in September 2011, subject to LPSC review and approval of the Financing Order at a special meeting scheduled for August 10, 2011.
Background:  The LPSC voted unanimously in 2007 to approve ELL’s request to repower the 538 MW Little Gypsy unit to utilize CFB technology relying on a dual-fuel approach (petroleum coke and coal). Following a decline in natural gas prices, as well as environmental concerns, the unknown costs of carbon legislation, and changes in the capital / financial markets, the LPSC unanimously accepted ELL’s recommendation to place the Little Gypsy project in longer-term suspension of 3 years or more in May 2009. On October 27, 2009, ELL filed an application and testimony seeking LPSC authorization to cancel the Little Gypsy Unit 3 repowering project and to recover the cost incurred.
 
Waterford 3 Steam Generator Replacement Recent Activity:  On June 15, 2011, ELL filed a Special Monitoring Report to reflect the updated cost and schedule associated with the project. The installation schedule was revised from the Spring 2011 refueling outage to the Fall 2012 refueling outage. Additional funding of approximately $176 million is required, bringing the revised replacement project total to approximately $687 million.  Extensive inspections of the steam generators during the Spring 2011 refueling outage confirmed that Waterford 3 can operate safely for another full cycle before the replacement of the steam generator. ELL is required to report its findings to the NRC (both a condition report to be submitted upon completion of the engineering analysis and again through a report made 180 days after plant start up). ELL expects to resume the revenue requirement proceeding in Fall 2012, provided that its FRP is renewed or extended.  If the FRP is not renewed or extended, ELL anticipates filing a rate case one year prior to the in-service date of the project in order to support timely rate recovery of the project costs.  ELL is in discussions with the LPSC Staff regarding its FRP.
Background:  On June 26, 2008, ELL petitioned the LPSC to replace two steam generators, the reactor vessel closure head, and control drive mechanisms. On November 12, 2008, the LPSC approved the stipulated settlement, finding that the decision to undertake this project at an estimated cost of $511 million was prudent and the timing concurrent with the 2011 outage was reasonable. Prudent costs are eligible for recovery through ELL’s formula rate plan, if extended, or a base rate case filing. ELL agreed to undertake a future prudence review to consider at least project management, cost controls, success in achieving stated objectives, project replacement cost, and outage length / replacement power costs. ELL also agreed to provide high level quarterly status reports on budget, schedule, and business issues. On June 30, 2010, ELL filed an application with the LPSC seeking an order certifying for inclusion in rates beginning September 2011 the estimated first-year revenue requirement for the incremental costs associated with the project. Subsequent to hydrostatic testing, which is the last step in the fabrication process before the replacement steam generators (RSGs) were to be released for delivery to the plant, Westinghouse discovered the separation of stainless steel cladding from the carbon steel base metal in the channel head of both RSGs, in areas beneath and adjacent to the divider plate. On December 17, 2010, ELL notified the LPSC that Westinghouse advised that the RSGs would not be completed and delivered in time to maintain the current project schedule for installation during the Spring 2011 refueling outage. Due to the delay in the project, the procedural schedule for the rate proceeding initiated June 30, 2010 was suspended.
Ninemile 6 Certification Recent Activity:  On June 21, 2011, ELL filed an application with the LPSC seeking approval to construct the Ninemile 6 CCGT and for EGSL to purchase up to 35 percent of the capacity and energy under a life-of-unit power purchase agreement. As reflected in the filing, the current estimated construction cost is approximately $721 million. Commercial operation is anticipated by the summer of 2015.  ELL seeks a decision in January 2012 in order to issue full notice to proceed and support a construction schedule that would allow for early completion of the project by December 2014.
Background:  The Ninemile 6 project is a proposed 550 MW combined-cycle gas turbine facility. The resource has been allocated 55 percent to ELL, 25 percent to EGSL, and 20 percent to ENOI. ENOI submitted an application to the City Council of New Orleans (CCNO) on July 8, 2011 seeking approval of its participation in the Ninemile 6 project through a life-of-unit power purchase agreement of capacity and energy. If CCNO does not approve the power purchase agreement in a timely manner then ELL and EGSL propose an allocation of 65 percent to ELL and 35 percent to EGSL.

Entergy Mississippi
Authorized ROE Range:
10.54% - 12.72%
(per FRP filing)
Last Filed Rate Base:              $1.6 billion filed 3/11 based on 12/31/10 test yr
Formula Rate Plan Recent Activity:  On June 23, 2011, EMI filed a Depreciation Study, requesting that new rates become effective with the next base rate change. The matter remains pending before the Mississippi Public Service Commission (MPSC).
Background:  On March 4, 2010, the MPSC approved modifications to EMI’s FRP that (1) aligned EMI’s FRP more closely with the FRPs of the other regulated gas and electric utilities in Mississippi; (2) provided the opportunity to reset the ROE and bandwidth based upon performance ratings; (3) rescored the performance adjustment factors; (4) eliminated the $14.5 million revenue adjustment limit and changed the 2 percent of revenues limit to a 4 percent limit, with any adjustment over 2 percent requiring a hearing; and (5) directed EMI to phase-out the summer / winter rate differential in residential rates over two years. On March 15, 2011, EMI filed its second evaluation report under its new FRP for the 2010 test year. The filing reflected a 10.65 percent earned ROE which was within the bandwidth resulting in no change in rates. The calculated 11.63 percent FRP midpoint ROE includes the benefit of a 0.79 percent performance incentive. The filing remains subject to MPSC review.
Hinds Acquisition Recent Activity:  On July 15, 2011, EMI filed an application with the MPSC seeking certification of the Hinds acquisition and rider recovery concurrent with closing of the acquisition. This filing follows notification on June 13, 2011 of approval of the sale by KGen shareholders.
Background: On April 29, 2011, EMI announced that it signed an asset purchase agreement to acquire the Hinds Energy Facility (Hinds), a 450 MW (summer rating) natural gas-fired combined-cycle turbine plant located in Jackson, Mississippi, from KGen Hinds, LLC, a subsidiary of KGen Power Corporation. The total expected cost is $246 million (or $547/kW) including the purchase price of approximately $206 million (or $458/kW) and planned plant upgrades, transaction costs, and contingencies and excluding transmission upgrades (a transmission study estimates that the acquisition could require investment for supplemental upgrades to Entergy’s transmission system, but there are uncertainties to be resolved associated with the results of this study).  The purchase is contingent upon, among other things, obtaining necessary approvals (including full cost recovery) from various federal and state regulatory and permitting agencies. These include regulatory approvals from the MPSC and FERC, as well as clearance under the Hart-Scott-Rodino anti-trust law. Assuming timely regulatory approvals and the satisfaction of all other closing conditions, closing is expected to occur in mid-2012.
Entergy New Orleans
Authorized ROE Range:
10.7% - 11.5% (electric)
10.25% - 11.25% (gas)
Last Filed Rate Base:              $0.3 billion (electric),      $0.09 billion (gas) filed 5/11 based on 12/31/10 test yr
Formula Rate Plan Recent Activity:  On May 26, 2011, ENOI filed its 2010 test year FRP. The filing reflects incremental rate reductions of $6.5 million for electric customers and $1.1 million for gas customers. ENOI also filed a request to increase the electric and gas storm reserve rider in order to meet the original target of $75 million in the storm fund by the year 2017. The proposed increase is intended to replenish the $20 million expended for hurricanes Gustav and Ike.
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 percent electric ROE with a +/- 40 basis points bandwidth and a 10.75 percent gas ROE with a +/- 50 basis points 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 CCNO. The settlement also implemented energy conservation and demand side management programs.
Entergy Texas
Authorized ROE: 10.125%
Last Filed Rate Base:              $1.6 billion filed 12/09 based on 6/30/09 adjusted test yr
 
Rate Case Recent Activity:  None.
Background:  ETI implemented a $17.5 million interim rate increase beginning on May 1, 2010, pursuant to a February 2010 unanimous settlement on interim rates, and the balance of the total $59 million base rate increase for usage on and after August 15, 2010, pursuant to its August 2010 stipulation and settlement agreement approved by the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT) in December 2010.  Other key elements of the stipulation and settlement agreement included an additional $9 million rate increase implemented for bills rendered on and after May 2, 2011 and a 10.125 percent allowed return on equity.
Other Regulatory Activity:  No action has been taken by the PUCT on a purchased power capacity rider. The parties provided comments in June 2011 and the PUCT Staff subsequently held a technical conference. In late May the PUCT initiated a rulemaking to review recovery of distribution costs following legislation enacted on May 28, 2011. The rule, which is required to be finalized in September 2011, would apply to both ERCOT and non-ERCOT utilities and would include increases in distribution capital above amounts reflected in base rates.
Background:  On September 17, 2010, ETI submitted a petition to the PUCT to initiate a rulemaking for a proposed rule allowing for a purchased power capacity cost rider. In November 2010, the PUCT denied ETI’s petition.  However, the PUCT reversed its earlier denial and on March 10, 2011 opened a rulemaking to review recovery of purchased power capacity costs. The PUCT has not yet published a proposed rule. In the competitive generation service (CGS) tariff matter, the parties continue to explore options that could ultimately result in a settlement of all or a significant portion of the issues related to the CGS tariff. The CGS tariff was proposed by ETI as required in state legislation initially enacted in 2005 and modified in 2009.

Recent Activity:  None.
Background:  10.94 percent ROE approved by July 2001 FERC order.
Grand Gulf Uprate:  Work continues on the approximate 178 MW uprate of the Grand Gulf nuclear plant. SERI owns or leases 90 percent of the plant. On November 30, 2009, the MPSC issued a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity for implementation of the uprate.  Completion of the uprate is targeted for 2012. The license amendment application was submitted to the NRC on September 8, 2010. Following an acceptance review period, the NRC formally accepted the submittal for review on December 22, 2010. The NRC is expected to complete its formal 12-month review in the fourth quarter of 2011.
System Agreement
Recent Activity: The 2011 bandwidth filing was made on May 27, 2011 and is pending before the FERC. The filing reflected payments from EAI to various other Utility operating companies of approximately $77.4 million. FERC issued an order on July 26, 2011 setting the 2010 bandwidth filing for hearing and settlement procedures and putting those procedures in abeyance pending further FERC order in other proceedings, in order to prevent the re-litigation of issues.
Background:  The System Agreement case addresses the allocation of production costs among the Utility operating companies. In 2005, FERC issued orders that require each Utility operating company’s production costs to be within           +/- 11 percent of System average production costs and set 2007 as the first possible year of payments among the Utility’s operating companies, based on calendar year 2006 actual production costs. Upon appeal, the DC Circuit remanded to the FERC to reconsider its conclusion that it did not have the authority to order refunds and to also reconsider its decision to delay implementation of the bandwidth remedy. The remand is pending at FERC.
Since 2007, bandwidth filings have required payments from EAI to various other Utility operating companies totaling approximately $1.0 billion. FERC set each of the 2007 through 2010 bandwidth filings for hearing following protests from retail regulatory commissions and / or third parties. Requests for rehearing and clarification of a final FERC order in the 2007 bandwidth proceeding have been filed. All other bandwidth proceedings remain outstanding.
On May 25, 2010, the Utility operating companies filed testimony refuting the LPSC’s claims in its April 16, 2010 filing at 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. A FERC ALJ issued an initial decision on December 9, 2010 finding that Entergy’s accounting for certain wholesale opportunity sales of energy by EAI to third parties in 2000 through 2009 (representing less than 0.5 percent of total system sales during the period) violated the System Agreement and warranted refunds to the Utility operating companies. The Utility operating companies and the FERC staff filed exception briefs in January requesting that the FERC reject the ALJ initial decision. Due to the need for clarification on certain aspects of the calculation, the Utility operating companies have not quantified refunds that could be required. This matter is now pending before FERC.
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 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 Utility operating companies as a result of withdrawal. On February 1, 2011, FERC denied the LPSC and CCNO’s request for rehearing of this order. The LPSC and CCNO subsequently appealed this decision to the United States Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit.
Independent Coordinator of Transmission
Authorized ROE:  11.0% (x)
Last Filed OATT Rate Base:               $2.2 billion (y) filed 5/11 based on 12/31/10 test year
Recent Activity:  On May 12, 2011, the Utility operating companies submitted detailed analysis to their respective retail regulators supporting their conclusion that joining MISO will provide meaningful long-term benefits for customers. The Utility operating companies anticipate submitting formal proposals to those regulators later this year, with a target implementation date for joining MISO of December 2013. FERC filings to establish the Entergy zonal rate under the MISO OATT are targeted for late 2012 or early 2013.
Background:  In November 2006, the Utility operating companies installed SPP as their ICT with an initial term of four years unless Entergy filed and the FERC approved an extension beyond that four year period. The Utility 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 for the transmission system, and overseeing the weekly procurement process.
On November 16, 2010, FERC issued an order accepting the Utility operating companies’ proposal to extend the ICT arrangement with SPP by an additional term of two years, providing time for analysis of longer term structures. In addition, on December 16, 2010, FERC issued an order that granted the Entergy Regional State Committee (E-RSC) additional authority over transmission planning and cost allocation. Specifically, the E-RSC has been given authority, upon unanimous vote of all members, to direct the Utility operating companies to make a filing to propose changes to the way costs for future transmission upgrades are allocated under the Open Access Transmission Tariff (OATT) and to add specific projects to the Entergy Construction Plan. The E-RSC, comprised of one representative from each of the Utility operating company retail regulators, was formed in 2009 to consider several of the issues related to the Entergy transmission system. On April 25, 2011, Entergy announced the recommendation that all the Utility operating companies join MISO.

Planned Capital Expenditures

The capital plan for 2011 through 2013 anticipates $7.4 billion for investment, including $2.9 billion of maintenance capital, as shown in Appendix D.  The remaining $4.5 billion is for specific investments and other initiatives such as:

·  
Utility:  the Utility’s portfolio transformation strategy including the 580 MW Acadia Unit 2 acquisition (including planned plant upgrades, transaction costs, and contingencies), an approximate 178 MW uprate project at Grand Gulf and the three resource additions identified in the Summer 2009 Long-Term RFP, including the 620 MW Hot Spring and 450 MW Hinds power plant acquisitions announced in April 2011, subject to pending regulatory approvals and assuming closing in mid-2012, and the construction of a new 550 MW facility at Entergy Louisiana’s Ninemile Point plant site, as well as the associated transmission investment. Other committed spending includes environmental compliance spending; transmission upgrades; spending to comply with NERC transmission planning rules; and approximately $190 million in 2011 for completion of the steam generator replacement at Entergy Louisiana’s Waterford 3 nuclear unit. The effect of the delay in the Waterford 3 replacement steam generators (which, as discussed more fully in Appendix B, was previously planned for installation in the spring 2011) is not reflected in the Utility capital plan.
·  
Entergy Wholesale Commodities: dry cask storage, nuclear license renewal efforts, component replacement and identified repairs across the fleet, NYPA value sharing, the Indian Point independent safety evaluation, and wedgewire screens at the Indian Point site.
