Operational Earnings Highlights for Second Quarter 2008

• Utility, Parent & Other had higher earnings due primarily to increased revenues.
• Entergy Nuclear earnings increased as a result of additional production and higher power prices.
• Entergy's Non-Nuclear Wholesale Assets business reported lower results due primarily to the absence of the benefit of lower income tax expense recorded in second quarter 2007.

"We remain committed and on track in our efforts to add value for our owners and to maintain high quality, affordable service for our customers in an increasingly challenging national economic environment," said J. Wayne Leonard, Entergy's chairman and chief executive officer. "We've achieved solid progress on a number of initiatives in the first half of 2008 and we expect the second half of 2008 to see the realization of a number of our goals and objectives for all of our stakeholders."

Consolidated Results

Consolidated Earnings

Table 2 provides a comparative summary of consolidated earnings per share for second quarter 2008 versus 2007, including a reconciliation of GAAP as-reported earnings to non-GAAP operational earnings. Utility, Parent & Other had higher earnings due to increased revenues from sales growth, partially offset by higher operation and maintenance expense. Entergy Nuclear's earnings increased as a result of additional production from fewer outage days and the Palisades plant acquired in second quarter 2007, as well as higher power prices. These items were partially offset by higher operation and maintenance expense and an impairment recorded for certain decommissioning trust fund investments. Entergy's Non-Nuclear Wholesale Assets business reported lower results due to the absence in the current period of the benefit from lower income tax expense recorded in second quarter 2007. Entergy's results for the current period also reflect the positive effect of accretio n associated with the company's share repurchase program.

Detailed earnings variance analysis is included in appendices B-1 and B-2 to this release. In addition, appendix B-3 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 second quarter 2008 was $465 million compared to $471 million in second quarter 2007. The decrease was due primarily to reduced collections at the Utility of deferred fuel recovery in the current quarter totaling $243 million and the absence in the current quarter of $177 million of CDBG funding received by Entergy New Orleans, Inc. in second quarter 2007. These items were largely offset by higher net revenues at Entergy Nuclear of $195 million and changes in Utility net payables/receivables of $159 million.

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

II. Utility, Parent & Other Results

In second quarter 2008, Utility, Parent & Other had earnings of $0.62 per share on as-reported basis and $0.71 per share on an operational basis, compared to $0.59 per share in as-reported earnings and operational earnings in second quarter 2007. Operational results for Utility, Parent & Other in second quarter 2008 reflect higher revenues from sales growth, partially offset by higher operation and maintenance expense. The higher expense primarily reflects increased charges for storm damages and loss reserves and higher employee benefits expense.

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 2008, on a weather-adjusted basis, showed a 2 percent increase compared to second quarter 2007.
• Commercial and governmental sales, on a weather-adjusted basis, were up 3 percent.
• Industrial sales in the current quarter were down 1 percent compared to the same period one year ago.

The residential sales sector showed an increase quarter to quarter with sales growth across jurisdictions and the most significant increase on a percentage basis at Entergy New Orleans, Inc., where post-storm recovery continues. An increase in the number of customers also contributed to sales growth in the residential sector as well as the commercial and governmental sectors. Sales in the industrial sector for second quarter 2008 decreased compared to the same quarter of 2007. High utilization in the refining and chemical segments continues to contribute to sales growth although gains in these segments were more than offset by weakness in pipelines and all segments associated with housing including wood, pulp and paper. National economic weakness is affecting small and mid-sized industrial customers while efficiency improvements driven by high energy prices are producing declining sales in some areas.

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

III. Competitive Businesses Results

Entergy's competitive businesses include Entergy Nuclear and Non-Nuclear Wholesale Assets.

Entergy Nuclear

Entergy Nuclear earned $0.73 per share on as-reported and operational bases in second quarter 2008, compared to $0.54 in second quarter 2007 for as-reported and operational earnings. Entergy Nuclear's earnings increased as a result of additional production due to fewer outage days and from the Palisades plant acquired in second quarter 2007, as well as higher power prices. These items were partially offset by higher expense primarily associated with deferring costs for only one refueling outage during second quarter 2008 versus deferrals for two refueling outages in 2007 and the effect of including Palisades in the portfolio. An additional item partially offsetting the increase in results for the current quarter was an impairment recorded in second quarter 2008 in connection with decommissioning trust fund investments.

With respect to outage days, two planned refueling outages occurred in second quarter 2007 totaling 57 days while one planned refueling outage was completed in second quarter 2008 requiring 19 outage days. In addition, an extended unplanned outage of 28 days is reflected in second quarter 2007 results.

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

Non-Nuclear Wholesale Assets

Entergy's Non-Nuclear Wholesale Assets business earned $0.02 per share on both as-reported and operational bases in second quarter 2008 compared to $0.19 per share on as-reported and operational bases in second quarter 2007. The decrease was due primarily to the absence in the current period of the benefit of lower income tax expense in second quarter 2007 resulting from the resolution of tax audit issues.

IV. Earnings Guidance

Entergy is reaffirming 2008 earnings guidance in the range of $6.50 to $6.90 per share on both as-reported and operational bases on a business as usual basis. Guidance for 2008 does not include a special item for expenses, a portion of which were incurred during the current quarter, anticipated in connection with the plan to pursue separation of Entergy's non-utility nuclear business and to enter into a nuclear services joint venture, both discussed below and in Appendix A. Year-over-year changes are shown as point estimates and are applied to 2007 actual results to compute the 2008 guidance midpoint. 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. 2008 earnings guidance is detailed in Table 7 below.

	2008 As-Reported	5.60	1.10	6.70	6.50 - 6.90

(e) Updated January 2008 to reflect 2007 final results.

Key assumptions supporting 2008 earnings guidance are as follows:

Utility, Parent & Other

• Normal weather
• Retail sales growth of roughly 2%
• Increased revenue associated with rate actions
• Decreased non-fuel operation and maintenance expense, primarily due to higher discount rate on benefit plans, absence of minimum bill write-offs, and lower storm reserves
• Increased depreciation associated with rate base growth
• Decreased interest expense as a result of receiving proceeds from Louisiana storm securitization, net of effects on interest expense of other financings
• Decreased other income due primarily to absence of 2007 carrying costs reflected for storm settlements
• Decreased income taxes associated with absence of the 2007 fourth quarter income tax adjustments

Entergy Nuclear

• 41 TWh of total output, reflecting an approximate 94% capacity factor, including 30 day refueling outages at Indian Point 2 in Spring 2008, and FitzPatrick and Vermont Yankee, both in Fall 2008
• 91% energy sold under existing contracts; 9% sold into the spot market (Additional sales after guidance was issued increased sold forward position to 92%)
• $54/MWh average energy contract price; $69/MWh average unsold energy price based on published market prices in October 2007
• $22.10/MWh non-fuel operation and maintenance expense/purchased power with increase primarily due to full year of Palisades operation (acquired mid April 2007); $21.30/MWh production cost
• Increased depreciation due to continued investment in nuclear fleet and full year of Palisades operation
• Increased income tax expense associated with absence of the 2007 fourth quarter income tax adjustments, a change in New York state tax law and the step-up in tax basis from restructuring the Indian Point 2 non-quali fied decommissioning trust fund

Non-Nuclear Wholesale Assets

• Increased income tax associated with the absence of the 2007 fourth quarter income tax adjustments, favorable resolution of tax audit issues, and benefits associated with project restructurings

Share Repurchase Program

• 2008 average fully diluted shares outstanding of approximately 197 million

Special Items

• Absence of 2007 nuclear alignment charge

Earnings guidance for 2008 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. Utility sales are expected to be the most significant variable for 2008 results for Utility, Parent & Other. At Entergy Nuclear, energy prices are expected to be the most significant driver of results in 2008. Estimated annual impacts shown in Table 8 are intended to be indicative rather than precise guidance.

V. Business Separation

On November 3, 2007, Entergy's Board of Directors approved a plan to pursue a separation of the non-utility nuclear business from Entergy's regulated utility business through a tax-free spin-off of the non-utility nuclear business. Enexus Energy Corporation, formerly referred to as SpinCo, will be a new, independent publicly traded company. In addition, Entergy and Enexus intend to enter into a nuclear services joint venture, with equal ownership. EquaGen L.L.C. has been selected as the name for the joint venture.

Progress achieved since the last quarter update includes:

• Key board and leadership positions at Enexus and EquaGen continued to be filled
• Regulatory proceedings continued to advance
  • The Nuclear Regulatory Commission approved the transaction on July 28, 2008
  • In Vermont, testimony has been filed, the discovery process is complete and technical hearings begin today
  • In New York, the initial discovery period ordered by the New York Public Service Commission expired and the presiding Administrative Law Judges (ALJs) issued a ruling slightly extending the discovery process, followed within three weeks by initial comments addressing defined issues, and reply comments due two weeks thereafter
  • The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission approved the transaction on June 12, 2008
  • In response to Securities and Exchange Commission comments issued June 9, 2008, an amended Form 10 will be filed in the near future
  • At the Internal Revenue Service, Entergy has completed all submittals and is awaiting a response to its request for a private letter ruling finding that the spin-off transaction qualifies for tax-free treatment for federal income tax purposes for both Entergy and its shareholders

Given receipt of critical NRC approval, the state regulatory approvals are now the critical path. Considering the ruling by the New York ALJs, Entergy now expects the spin completion to occur in the fourth quarter on a month end.

Additional information on the spin-off including proposed new business structure, leadership teams, business overviews, financial aspirations, and a transaction timeline including regulatory filing status are included in Appendix A of this release.

VI. Appendices

Seven appendices are presented in this section as follows:

• Appendix F provides definitions of the operational performance measures and GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures that are used in this release.
• Appendix G provides a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures used in this release.

Appendix A provides information on Entergy's planned spin-off of its non-utility nuclear business.

Appendix A: Spin-off of Non-Utility Nuclear Business

The announced spin-off of Entergy's non-utility nuclear business will establish a new independent, publicly traded company. Enexus Energy Corporation has been selected as the name of the new company. In addition, Entergy and Enexus intend to enter into a nuclear services joint venture, with equal ownership. EquaGen L.L.C. has been selected as the name for the joint venture. Below are transaction details and other information on Entergy, Enexus and EquaGen.

New Business Structure

Once the transaction is complete, Entergy Corporation's shareholders will own 100 percent of the common equity in both Entergy and Enexus. Enexus' business is expected to be comprised of the non-utility nuclear assets, including the Pilgrim Nuclear Station in Plymouth, Mass., the James A. FitzPatrick and Indian Point Energy Center plants in Oswego and Buchanan, N.Y., respectively, the Palisades plant in Covert, Mich., and the Vermont Yankee plant in Brattleboro, Vt., and a power marketing operation. Entergy's business will be comprised of the current six regulated utility operating subsidiaries, System Energy Resources, Inc., the related services subsidiaries System Fuels, Inc., Entergy Operations, Inc. and Entergy Services, Inc., and the remaining Entergy subsidiaries. The newly created joint venture, EquaGen, is expected to operate the nuclear assets owned by Enexus. EquaGen is also expected to offer nuclear services to third parties, including decommissioning, plant relicens ing and plant operations for Cooper Nuclear Station and others.

The joint venture operating structure for Enexus ensures that the core nuclear operations expertise currently in place at each of the non-utility nuclear plants will remain after the spin-off.  Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc., the current NRC-licensed operator of the non-utility nuclear plants, is expected to be wholly-owned by EquaGen and will remain the operator of the plants after the separation.  Entergy Operations, Inc., the current NRC-licensed operator of Entergy's utility nuclear plants, will also remain in place as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Entergy and will continue to be the operator of the utility nuclear plants.  The decision to retain the existing operators for the nuclear stations reflects Entergy's commitment to maintaining safety, security and operational excellence.

Brief Overview of Each Business

After completion of the business separation, Entergy will consist of the current six electric utility subsidiaries in four contiguous states with generating capacity of more than 22,000 megawatts and 15,000 miles of transmission lines. Entergy will be a customer service-focused electric and gas utility with a unique growth opportunity through its portfolio transformation strategy that benefits customers. The company will deliver electricity to 2.7 million customers in Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas and will remain headquartered in New Orleans, LA.

Enexus is expected to own nearly 5,000 megawatts of nuclear generation, most of which is located in the northeastern United States. This location has some of the highest average regional power prices in the United States both today and expected into the future through at least 2020. Enexus will be uniquely positioned to provide to the region the only pure-play, emission-free nuclear generation. The company will be headquartered in Jackson, Miss.

EquaGen is expected to be owned 50 percent each by Entergy and Enexus, and expected to have operating responsibility for Enexus' nuclear fleet. As a premier nuclear operator, the joint venture will have broad nuclear experience building and operating boiling and pressurized water reactor technologies. EquaGen is expected to be uniquely positioned to grow through offerings of nuclear operating expertise, as well as ancillary nuclear services to third parties, including plant decommissioning and relicensing. The company will be headquartered in Jackson, Miss.

Financial Aspirations

The companies will continue to aspire to deliver superior value to owners as measured by total shareholder return. The companies believe top-quartile shareholder returns are achieved by growing earnings, delivering returns at or above the risk-adjusted cost of capital, maintaining credit quality and flexibility, and deploying capital in a disciplined manner, whether for new investments, share repurchases, dividends or debt retirements.

Financial aspirations currently in place for Entergy today can be tailored to each of the businesses going forward. Financial aspirations through 2012 include the following:

Top-quartile total shareholder return:

• Entergy: 6-8% annual earnings per share growth, a 70 to 75% dividend payout ratio target, and capacity for a new share repurchase program targeted at $2.5 billion, $0.5 billion of which has already been authorized by the Entergy Board of Directors, with the balance to be authorized and to commence following completion of spin-off
• Enexus: $2 billion in earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and interest and dividend income (EBITDA), a non-GAAP financial measure defined in Appendix F, for the existing non-utility nuclear fleet portfolio by 2012, assuming an average power price on open positions of roughly $95/MWh, generating cash flow for acquisitions and/or distributions through share repurchases in the range of $0.5 billion to $1 billion annually

Credit quality and flexibility to manage risk and act on opportunities:

• Entergy: investment grade credit with a lower risk profile
• Enexus: strong merchant credit, relative to others (subject to market terms and conditions, Enexus expects to execute roughly $4.5 billion of debt financing)

The amount of repurchases may vary as a result of material changes in business results or capital spending or new investment opportunities.

2012 aspirations can be considered in association with financial sensitivities as shown in Table 9. These sensitivities illustrate the estimated change in aspiration resulting from changes in aspiration drivers. Estimated impacts shown in Table 9 are intended to be illustrative.

Transaction Timing

Given receipt of critical NRC approval, the state regulatory approvals are now the critical path. Considering the ruling by the New York Administrative Law Judges, Entergy now expects the spin completion to occur in the fourth quarter on a month end. Entergy expects the transactions to qualify for tax-free treatment for U.S. federal income tax purposes for both Entergy and its shareholders. The transactions are subject to various approvals, outlined in the following table. Final terms of the transactions and spin-off completion are subject to the subsequent approval of the Entergy Board of Directors. Citigroup and Goldman Sachs are serving as Entergy's financial advisors in this process.

Proceeding	Pending Regulatory Approvals - Spin-Off of Non-Utility Nuclear Business
Nuclear Regulatory Commission	Request: Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. (ENO) provided supplements to its application originally filed on July 30, 2007, pursuant to Section 184 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, and 10 CFR 50.80. In each of the supplements to the application ENO provided additional information regarding the spin-off transaction, while the original application requested that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) consent to the indirect transfer of control of Entergy's non-utility nuclear licenses. Recent Activity: The NRC approved ENO's application on July 28, 2008. Next Steps: None. Other Background: A successful petitioner or hearing request must articulate an "admissible contention" in order for a hearing to be granted, i.e., a material disputed issue of fact or law within the narrow scope of the proceeding. Otherwise, the NRC's rules provide that no hearing will be conducted. Hearings are governed by special rules for expedited proceedings applicable to license transfers.
Vermont Public Service Board	Request: On January 28, 2008, pursuant to 30 V.S.A. Sections 107, 108, 231 and 232, Entergy Nuclear Vermont Yankee, L.L.C. (EVY) and ENO requested approval from the Vermont Public Service Board (VPSB) for the indirect transfer of control, consent to pledge assets, guarantees and assignments of contracts, amendment to Certificate of Public Good (CPG) to reflect name change, replacement of guaranty and substitution of a credit support agreement. Recent Activity: In accordance with the VPSB scheduling order, testimony has been filed and the discovery process is complete. Three days of technical hearings begin July 29, 2008. The VPSB permitted five parties to intervene in the proceeding, and two parties to participate as amicus curiae. Also, Senate bill S373, legislation that would have required Entergy to over fund the decommissioning trust fund for Vermont Yankee before the VPSB could issue a CPG approving the spin-off transaction, was passed by the Vermont legislature but subsequently vetoed by the governor of Vermont. Next Steps: Final reply briefs are due on August 20, 2008, after which the VPSB will render a decision, potentially in third quarter 2008. Other Background: Under Vermont law, approval requires a finding that actions promote the general good of the state.
New York Public Service Commission	Request: On January 28, 2008, pursuant to New York State Public Service Law ( NYPSL) Sections 69 and 70, Entergy Nuclear Fitzpatrick, L.L.C. (ENFP), Entergy Nuclear Indian Point 2 and 3, L.L.C. (ENIP2 & 3), ENO and corporate affiliate Enexus (formerly referred to as NewCo and SpinCo) filed a petition with the New York Public Service Commission (NYPSC) requesting a declaratory ruling regarding corporate reorganization or in the alternative an order approving the transaction and an order approving debt financing. Petitioners also requested confirmation that the corporate reorganization will not have an impact on ENFP's, ENIP2 & 3's, and ENO's status as lightly regulated entities, given they will continue to be competitive wholesale generators. Recent Activity: The Administrative Law Judges (ALJs) issued a ruling on July 23, 2008 slightly extending the discovery process, followed within three weeks by initial comments addressing defined issues, and reply comments due two weeks thereafter. Following the conclusion of this process, the ALJs will determine whether and to what extent an evidentiary hearing is required. Next Steps: The ALJ must determine whether any further procedures may be appropriate, or alternatively can elect to make a recommendation to the NYPSC with respect to the transaction. Other Background: Entergy requested that the NYPSC consider the spin-off transaction consistent with a lightened regulatory regime for wholesale generators in New York, including owners and operators of nuclear generating facilities, under which PSL 70 review of changes in ownership is not required. If the NYPSC decides to review the corporate reorganization pursuant to PSL 70 that action triggers a review under the State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA). Petitioners maintain that the corporate reorganization will not change the operation of their assets that could cause an adverse environmental effect. Consequently, if PSL 70 review is required, NYPSC should follow precedent, issue a negative declaration and undertake no further environmental review. Approval under Section 70 of the NYPSL requires a finding that actions are in the public interest. Three parties filed comments in response to Entergy's petition, and several other parties have also requested to be added to the service list for the proceeding. In response to the Entergy's petition, in an order dated May 23, 2008, the NYPSC declined to issue a declaratory ruling approving the transaction and to consider the transaction as one consistent with lightly-regulated generators under PSL 70. In its order, the commission noted that these nuclear plants "are crucial to the adequacy of generation supply within New York" and as such additional proceedings were deemed necessary. The NYPSC established a 60 day discovery period, which expired on July 22, 2008 and assigned two ALJs to oversee the proceeding.
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission	Request: On February 21, 2008, ENO filed an application pursuant to the Federal Power Act Section 203 requesting authorization from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) by June 20, 2008 for indirect disposition of the jurisdictional facilities that will occur as a result of the proposed transaction in which ownership of the applicants will be spun-off to a new, publicly traded holding company. Recent Activity: FERC approved the ENO application on June 12, 2008. Next Steps: None. Other Background: The review of the filing by FERC will ensure that the transaction will have no adverse effects on competition, wholesale or retail rates and Federal and State Regulation. Also, FERC will seek to determine that the transaction will not result in cross-subsidization by a regulated utility or pledge/encumbrance of utility assets for the benefit of a non-utility associate company.
Securities and Exchange Commission	Request/Recent Activity: The initial Form 10 was filed on May 12, 2008. In response to SEC comments issued June 9, 2008, an Amended Form 10 will be filed shortly. Next Steps: A second amendment to the Form 10 may be required, with the SEC expected to subsequently declare the filing effective, with such declaration currently anticipated sometime in fourth quarter 2008. Other Background: Pursuant to Section 12 of the 34 Exchange Act, a Form 10 information statement is required to be filed to register securities with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The Form 10 is furnished in connection with the distribution by Entergy to its common shareholders of all of the shares of the common stock of Enexus. The information statement will describe the distribution in detail and will contain information about Enexus, its business, financial condition and operations. The Form 10 is subject to review and comments by the SEC staff and will need to be declared effective prior to the distribution.

   Sales growth/pricing	0.09	Sales growth/pricing	0.10
   Weather	0.04	Weather	0.04
   Other	0.03	Other	0.10
   Total	0.16	Total	0.24

9. The increase in the quarter and year-to-date periods is due primarily to higher revenues at Entergy Nuclear due to higher production from fewer outage days, the addition of Palisades, and higher pricing.
10. The decrease is due primarily to an impairment recorded on decommissioning trust fund investments at Entergy Nuclear.
11. The increase in the quarter is due primarily to nuclear spin-off related expenses recorded at Parent, increased charges for storm damages and loss reserves and higher employee benefits expense, while the year-to-date increase reflects these expenses and increased fossil outage spending primarily due to timing.
12. The increase in the quarter is due to deferring costs for only one refueling outage during second quarter 2008 versus deferrals for two refueling outages in 2007, as well as the full quarter inclusion of Palisades which was acquired April 11, 2007.
13. The increase is due primarily to the absence in the current period of the benefit of lower income taxes recorded in second quarter 2007 as a result of the resolution of tax audit issues.
14. Reflects accretion associated with Entergy's share repurchase program.
15. The increase reflects the amortization of expenses for more planned refueling outages compared to the year-to-date period in 2007, including Palisades' first refueling outage in fourth quarter 2007.
16. The increase in the year-to-date period is due to the inclusion of Palisades, as well as increased plant in service.

Appendix B-3 lists special items by business with quarter-to-quarter and year-to-date 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.

Appendix C: Regulatory Summary Table
Company/ Proceeding	Authorized ROE	Pending Cases/Events
Retail Regulation
Entergy Arkansas	9.9%	Recent activity: None. EAI awaits action on potential oral argument and final decision on its rate case appeal. In its appeal, EAI sought to reverse the APSC's decision on a number of issues. Background: EAI's base rates and Rider ECR have been in effect since 1998.  In December 2005, EAI provided notice of its intent to terminate participation in the Entergy System Agreement, following a final order from FERC establishing terms under which EAI is required to make payments to other operating companies to achieve rough production cost equalization. On August 25, 2006, EAI filed a rate case requesting a $150 million increase based on a June 30, 2006 test year using an 11.25% ROE. The rate increase was revised to $106.5 million on rebuttal primarily to remove a plant acquisition included in the initial filing. The APSC order called for a $5.1 million rate reduction, 9.9% ROE and a hypothetical common equity level lower than EAI's actual capital structure. The base rate change was implemented August 29, 2007. Among other actions, the APSC approved retention through December 31, 2008 of the ECR rider for fuel and purchased power recovery and a PCA or production cost allocation rider to recover System Agreement rough production cost equalization payments. The APSC also approved implementation of an Annual Earnings Review process to be developed. EAI filed an appeal of the rate case order, following earlier denial of EAI's request for rehearing on its case, and the briefing process in the appeal is complete. Also, following further testimony and hearings, the APSC issued a consolidated order on December 21, 2007 addressing issues pending in several dockets. As a result of lack of consensus, the Annual Earnings Review process was not approved. EAI may petition for extraordinary storm damage financial relief, and the automatic sunset provision for the ECR and PCA riders was replaced with an 18 month advance notice provision for any potential future termination, following APSC notice and hearing. AEEC and the Attorney General filed an appeal of the consolidated order, following the APSC's denial of their request for rehearing. Storm cost recovery proposal: On June 6, 2008, together with other Arkansas utilities, EAI filed a joint application for approval of storm cost recovery accounting and a storm damage rider. To enable recovery of 2008 storm cost expenditures through the rider and storm reserve accounting, the Utilities requested that the APSC establish a procedural schedule that would allow resolution of this proceeding no later than December 15, 2008. Background: As a result of the rate case order, EAI was required to discontinue storm reserve accounting and is now subject to an annual $14.4 million budget for allowed storm recovery by the APSC. In its December consolidated order, the APSC indicated that it was open to consideration of alternative extraordinary storm restoration cost methodologies that are both fair and reasonable to rate payers and in the public interest, prompting the joint proposal. Ouachita acquisition: In its December 21, 2007 consolidated order, the APSC also approved EAI's proposed recovery mechanism for the Interim Tolling Agreement capacity payments through a separate rider. Energy costs are being recovered through the ECR. On June 27, 2008, the APSC approved EAI's acquisition of the Ouachita Plant, the sale of one-third of the plant's capacity to EGSL and the recovery of non-fuel costs associated with the acquisition via a capacity acquisition (CA) rider. EAI expects to close on the plant before the end of 2008. Background: In July 2007, EAI concluded negotiations with Cogentrix to acquire the Ouachita Power Facility, a 798MW load-following CCGT at a purchase price of $210 million assuming a December 31, 2008 close, or $325/kW including planned fossil upgrades, contingencies and transaction cost estimated at $46 million, but excluding potential transmission upgrades. EAI requested approval to sell one-third of the plant output to EGSL on a long-term basis under a separate agreement.
Entergy Texas	10.95%	Recent activity: Two competing non-unanimous settlement (NUS) agreements were introduced. ETI's NUS calls for a $59.5 million two-step base rate increase, among other details, to be effective October 24, 2008. Hearings concluded on ETI's NUS earlier in July, and the briefing process is underway. Background: On September 26, 2007, ETI filed a rate case consisting of three major requests for relief: a $64.3 million base rate increase, a $43.2 million request for various riders, and a fuel reconciliation for the period January 2006 through March 2007 in the amount of $858 million. The rate case is based on a March 31, 2007 test year using an 11% ROE. ETI has operated under a base rate freeze since 1999. Legislation subsequently enacted in June 2005 extended the base rate freeze to mid 2008 but also allowed ETI to file for rate relief through riders for incremental capacity costs (IPCR) and transition costs. In December 2005, the PUCT approved the recovery of $18 million annual capacity costs, subject to reconciliation from September 2005. On January 23, 2008, an agreement was filed with the PUCT to increase the IPCR to $21 million and to add a surcharge for $10.3 million of unrecovered costs. In June 2006, the PUCT approved a settlement in the Transition to Competition Cost recove ry case, allowing ETI to recover $14.5 million per year in TTC costs over a 15-year period. Qualified Power Region: In January 2008, ETI and SPP met to begin the study directed by the PUCT. Four teams were created to work on the key elements. The study is expected to be submitted in the November 2008 timeframe, along with updated SERC and ERCOT studies. Potential resolution is not likely until early 2009. Background: In December 2006, ETI filed a Transition to Competition plan with the PUCT, proposing ETI join ERCOT as it represents the most viable path to full customer choice. To support a PUCT decision on the appropriate qualified power region, in October and November 2007, the PUCT issued orders in ETI's Transition to Competition case requiring further studies and approving Southwest Power Pool's plan to develop information similar to that prepared by ERCOT and requiring an updated analysis of the benefits of remaining in the Southeastern Reliability Council (SERC). In May 2008, the PUCT issued an order directing ERCOT to update its study.
Entergy Gulf States Louisiana	9.90% - 11.40%	Recent activity: EGSL's 2007 test year filing made on May 30, 2008 indicated a 9.26% ROE, which is below the allowed bandwidth. The $5.4 million revenue deficiency is partially offset by $4.1 million reduced capacity cost recovery, resulting in an overall rate increase of $1.3 million. Implementation of new rates is expected in September 2008. Background: In March 2005, the LPSC approved a Global Settlement which established an FRP with a 10.65% ROE midpoint and a +/- 75 basis point bandwidth and a recovery mechanism for Commission approved capacity additions. Earnings outside the bandwidth are allocated 60% to customers and 40% to the company. The 2006 test year filing was the third of three approved filings by the LPSC. The FRP may be extended by mutual agreement of EGSL and the LPSC, and the parties agreed to extend the FRP one additional year.

Entergy Gulf States Louisiana (continued)		Storm Cost Recovery: On May 6, 2008, the State Bond Commission approved Act 55 alternate securitization, and the Louisiana Public Facilities Authority is in the process of marketing $279 million of securitization bonds in order to fund storm costs, storm reserves and issuance costs in the amounts of $185, $87 and $7 million, respectively. Background: On August 1, 2007, the LPSC approved $187 million as the balance of storm restoration costs for recovery and established $87 million as a reserve for future storms, both to be securitized in the same amounts. In May 2006, EGSL completed the $6 million interim recovery of storm costs through the fuel adjustment clause pursuant to the LPSC order. Beginning in September 2006, interim recovery shifted to the FRP at the rate of $0.85 million per month. Interim recovery and carrying charges will continue until the securitization process is complete. Ouachita acquisition: On January 16, 2008, the LPSC exercised its original jurisdiction and granted approval to recover costs associated with the Ouachita Interim Tolling Agreement. On July 16, 2008, the LPSC approved the uncontested stipulation settlement reached by EGSL and the LPSC Staff for EGSL's purchase of one-third of Ouachita's capacity. Background: In July 2007, EAI concluded negotiations with Cogentrix to acquire the Ouachita Power Facility. EGSL expects to purchase one-third of the plant output from EAI on a long-term basis under a separate agreement.
Entergy Louisiana	9.45% - 11.05%	Recent activity: ELL's 2007 test year filing made on May 15, 2008 indicated a 9.04% ROE, which is below the allowed bandwidth. The $5.8 million revenue deficiency plus $12.6 million increased capacity cost recovery results in an overall rate increase of $18.4 million. Implementation of new rates is expected in September 2008. ELL also continues to seek resolution of its 2006 test year FRP filing, including extraordinary customer loss recovery, and a status conference will be held on July 31, 2008 to reset the remaining procedural schedule. Background: In May 2005, the LPSC approved a settlement reestablishing the Company's FRP with a 10.25% ROE midpoint and a +/- 80 basis point bandwidth and a recovery mechanism for Commission-approved capacity additions. Earnings outside the bandwidth are allocated 60% to customers and 40% to the company. The 2007 test year filing is the third of three approved filings by the LPSC. The FRP may be extended by the mutual agreement of ELL and the LPSC. ELL's 2006 test year filing made in May 2007 indicated a 7.6% ROE. On September 27, 2007, ELL implemented an $18.4 million increase, subject to refund, $23.8 million representing a 60% adjustment to reach the bottom of the FRP band, net of $5.4 million for reduced capacity cost recovery. The LPSC will allow ELL to defer the difference between the $39.8 million requested for unrecovered fixed costs for extraordinary customer losses associated wit h Hurricane Katrina and the $23.8 million 60% adjustment as a regulatory asset, pending ultimate LPSC resolution of the 2006 FRP filing. On October 29, 2007, ELL implemented a $7.1 million FRP decrease which is primarily due to the reclassification of certain franchise fees from base rates to collection via a line item on customer's bills pursuant to an LPSC General Order. ELL continued to pursue extraordinary customer losses in its 2007 test year filing by submitting a second scenario of the filing reflecting unrecovered fixed costs. Storm Cost Recovery: On May 6, 2008, the State Bond Commission approved Act 55 alternate securitization, and the Louisiana Public Facilities Authority expects to close today on $688 million of securitization bonds in order to fund storm costs, storm reserves and issuance costs in the amounts of $524, $152 and $12 million, respectively. Background: On August 1, 2007, the LPSC approved $545 million as the balance of storm restoration costs for recovery and established $152 million as a reserve for future storms, both to be securitized in the same amounts. In April 2006, ELL completed the $14 million interim recovery of storm costs through the fuel adjustment clause pursuant to the LPSC order. Beginning in September 2006, interim recovery shifted to the FRP at the rate of $2 million per month. Interim recovery and carrying charges will continue until the securitization process is complete. Little Gypsy Repowering: On May 30, 2008, ELL filed for a limited reopening of the air permit for the additional layer of environmental analysis (Maximum Achievable Control Technology application) resulting from a federal court decision in February unrelated to the project. Based on the additional analysis requirement, ELL now estimates construction could commence by mid-year 2009 and result in a targeted in service date in second quarter 2013. The total cost estimate now stands at $1.76 billion. ELL expects to make its first monitoring plan filing by the end of the month and supplement and resume its Phase II proceeding in the fall. Background: Little Gypsy is a 538MW resource that will be repowered to utilize CFB technology relying on a dual-fuel approach (petroleum coke and coal), a much needed solid-fuel baseload resource that can reduce Louisiana customers' dependence on natural gas. The initial cost estimate was $1.55 billion with an early 2012 projected in-service date. On November 8, 2007, the LPSC voted unanimously to approve ELL's request to repower Little Gypsy, subject to a number of conditions, including the development and approval of a construction monitoring plan. This approval cleared the way for ELL to order vital equipment, such as boiler and piping components, so that components can be manufactured to keep the project on schedule. As a result, in January 2008, ELL finalized the terms of a target cost EPC contract with the Shaw Group. On December 21, 2007, ELL initiated the Phase II proceeding seeking cash earnings on CWIP and approval for the procedure to synchronize permanent base rate recovery when the project is placed in service, via an FRP or base rate filing. This proceeding was suspended temporarily to allow ELL to develop an updated project cost estimate and schedule to account for a delay resulting from the need to conduct additional environmental analysis. Waterford 3 Steam Generator Replacement: On June 26, 2008, ELL petitioned the LPSC to replace two steam generators, the reactor vessel closure head and control drive mechanisms, at an expected cost of $511 million. The petition seeks relief in two phases. Phase I seeks certification within 120 days that the public convenience and necessity would be served by undertaking this project. Among other relief requested, ELL is also seeking approval for the procedure to synchronize permanent base rate recovery when the project is placed in service, via an FRP or base rate filing. In its Phase II filing, ELL will seek cash earnings on CWIP. A status conference will be held on July 31, 2008. It is anticipated that a procedural schedule for this matter will be established at that time. Background: Due to careful maintenance, Waterford 3 is one of the last nuclear plants of its type to have to replace its steam generators. Of the 14 plants in the U.S. with similar pressurized water reactor designs, only one other plant has not replaced the equipment already. Replacing the reactor vessel closure head and control element drive mechanisms at the same time allows ELL to do the work more efficiently and economically. The long-lead time to design, manufacture and transport some of the required equipment to the site requires approval now in order to perform the project in 2011.

Appendix C: Regulatory Summary Table (continued)
Company/ Proceeding	Authorized ROE	Pending Cases/Events
Retail Regulation
Entergy Mississippi	9.46% - 12.24%	Recent activity: On March 14, 2008, EMI made its 2007 test year FRP filing indicating an earned ROE of 9.42% compared to a 12.34% mid-point ROE, including 92 basis points for performance incentives (band is 11.08% - 13.6%). The filing called for an annual revenue increase of $10.1 million. On June 20, 2008, EMI reached a settlement with the Mississippi Public Utilities Staff, resulting in a $3.775 million rate increase, subject to MPSC final approval. Background: EMI has been operating under a FRP last approved in December 2002. The FRP allows the company's earned ROE to increase or decrease within a bandwidth with no change in rates. Earnings outside the bandwidth are allocated 50% to customers and 50% to the company, but on a prospective basis only. The plan also provides for performance incentives that can increase or decrease the benchmark ROE by as much as 100 basis points. In December 2005, the MPSC approved the purchase of the Attala facility and ordered interim recovery. In October 2006, the MPSC approved EMI's filing to revise the Power Management Rider Schedule to extend beyond 2006 recovery of EMI's Attala costs, effective for bills on/after January 1, 2007.
Entergy New Orleans	10.75%	Recent activity: None. Background:  Prior to Hurricane Katrina, ENOI operated under a FRP with a ROE mid-point of 10.75%, a 45% hypothetical equity ratio, and electric and gas ROE bandwidths of 100 and 50 basis points, respectively. In October 2006, the City Council of New Orleans (CCNO) unanimously approved a settlement agreement with ENOI that called for a phased-in rate increase to ensure the company's ability to focus on restoration of the gas and electric systems, and created a $75 million storm reserve via a storm reserve rider beginning in March 2007, to be funded over a ten year period, that positions ENOI to pay for future hurricane damage. When fully implemented by January 1, 2008, electric base rates will increase by $3.9 million and gas base rates by $11.0 million. Grand Gulf fuel adjustment clause recovery is also retained. Absent extraordinary circumstances, there will be no further base rate adjustments until April 2009. The order allows ENOI to seek reinstatement of an appropriate FRP following the resetting of rates in 2009. With New Orleans' recovery also taking place faster than expected, in December 2007, ENOI announced a voluntary plan to return an estimated $10.6 million to customers through a 6.15% base rate credit on electric bills. Storm Cost Recovery: To date, ENOI has received $180.8 million of CDBG funding for ratepayer mitigation of storm costs and has submitted an additional $10.6 million for funding approval. ENOI will continue to submit storm restoration costs until the $200 million total CDBG funding allocation is reached.
Wholesale Regulation (FERC)
System Energy Resources, Inc.	10.94%	Recent activity: On July 1, 2008, the FERC dismissed the LPSC's complaint filed March 31, 2008 requesting that FERC modify the depreciation and decommissioning rates under the Unit Power Sales Agreement to assume a 20 year extension in the operating license of Grand Gulf and reduce the ROE from 10.94% to no greater than 9.75%. Background: ROE approved by July 2001 FERC order.
System Agreement	NA	Recent activity: The Utility operating subsidiaries made the rough production cost equalization calculation filing required under the FERC Order in June 2007. Payments/receipts based on calendar year 2007 production costs are outlined below. On April 15, 2008, the federal appeals court for the D.C. circuit affirmed the FERC decision with respect to FERC's jurisdiction to order the remedy, establish the bandwidth, and exclude above market costs of the Vidalia plant. The court remanded for further proceedings and consideration, FERC's decision to deny retroactive refunds and to delay implementation of the bandwidth remedy. Background: The System Agreement case addresses reallocation of production costs among the utility operating subsidiaries. In June 2005, the FERC issued its decision and established a bandwidth of +/- 11 % to reallocate production costs and ordered that this approach be applied prospectively. In December 2005, FERC established, among other things, that 1) the bandwidth would be applied to calendar year 2006 actual production costs and 2) 2007 would be the first possible year of payments among Entergy's operating companies. Based on calendar year 2007 production costs, EAI will pay $251 million to EGSL ($124 million), ELL ($35 million), EMI ($20 million), ENOI ($7 million) and ETI ($65 million). EAI will recover the retail portion through the production cost allocation rider approved by the APSC, with rates becoming effective for July billing. Receipts for the other utility companies are being reflected predominantly as reductions in fuel expense. Appeals of the FERC decision were filed by the A PSC, LPSC, MPSC and AEEC in the federal appeals court for the D.C. circuit, with the appeals consolidated. The City of New Orleans intervened in the LPSC appeal, and Entergy has intervened in all appeals. A Compliance filing to implement the FERC decision in this case was filed by Entergy at FERC on April 10, 2006 which proposed that all payments required by the June 2005 FERC decision be properly reflected as fuel costs. Various comments or protests to the Compliance filing were filed by various parties including a request for summary judgment by the LPSC. In July 2007, the FERC accepted the proposed rates for filing, allowed them to go into effect June 1, 2006 subject to refund, and set them for hearing and settlement procedures. Settlement discussions were not successful and hearings in this matter (referred to as the bandwidth proceeding) are complete. In September 2007, FERC issued an Order on Remand in a proceeding referred to as the Interruptible/Curtailable proceeding. This proceeding considere d how interruptible load, joint account purchases and the allocation of net margin for off-system sales would be considered in calculating the load responsibility for Entergy operating companies and the resulting effect on system production costs. FERC ordered that interruptible load be eliminated from calculations effective April 1, 2004 and ordered refunds for a 15 month period beginning May 1995. Entergy's operating companies filed a request for rehearing of the FERC decision and were granted a request to extend the deadline for any refunds until 30 days after the FERC issues an order on rehearing. The Entergy operating companies believe that any refund amounts would be recoverable in future rates. In November 2007, EMI provided notice of its intent to terminate participation in the Entergy System Agreement, and in January 2008, the LPSC unanimously voted to direct its Staff to begin evaluating the potential for a new agreement, given EAI and EMI notices of withdrawal. The CCNO also opened a docket t o gather information on progress towards a successor agreement.

    Appendix E: Planned Capital Expenditures

    Entergy's capital plan from 2008 through 2010 anticipates $5.9 billion for investment, including $2.7 billion of maintenance capital. The remaining $3.2 billion is for specific investments such as the Utility's portfolio transformation strategy (i.e., Calcasieu and Ouachita acquisitions and Little Gypsy repowering), the steam generator replacement at Entergy Louisiana's Waterford 3 nuclear unit, environmental compliance spending, transmission upgrades, business function relocation, dry cask storage and nuclear license renewal projects, NYPA value sharing and other initiatives. A potentially significant item not included in these estimates is the cost associated with the proposed inter-connection between Entergy Texas and ERCOT (up to approximately $1 billion). In addition, only minimal amounts for potential new nuclear development at the Grand Gulf and River Bend sites at the Utility are included.

Operational Earnings Highlights for Second Quarter 2008

• Utility, Parent & Other had higher earnings due primarily to increased revenues.
• Entergy Nuclear earnings increased as a result of additional production and higher power prices.
• Entergy's Non-Nuclear Wholesale Assets business reported lower results due primarily to the absence of the benefit of lower income tax expense recorded in second quarter 2007.

"We remain committed and on track in our efforts to add value for our owners and to maintain high quality, affordable service for our customers in an increasingly challenging national economic environment," said J. Wayne Leonard, Entergy's chairman and chief executive officer. "We've achieved solid progress on a number of initiatives in the first half of 2008 and we expect the second half of 2008 to see the realization of a number of our goals and objectives for all of our stakeholders."

Other Highlights

• Entergy Arkansas, Inc. received approval from the Arkansas Public Service Commission for the acquisition of the Ouachita plant, a 789-megawatt load-following combined-cycle gas turbine facility located near Monroe, La.
• Entergy Nuclear received a Top Industry Practice Award (TIP) presented by the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI). NEI TIP awards recognize nuclear energy operators for innovations that improve safety, economics or plant performance.
• Entergy achieved progress in its effort to secure regulatory approvals for its proposed non-utility nuclear spin-off transaction with receipt of Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and Nuclear Regulatory Commission approvals for the spin-off transaction.

Entergy will host a teleconference to discuss this release at 10 a.m. CDT on Tuesday, July 29 with access by telephone, 719-457-2080, confirmation code 2740813. The call and presentation slides can also be accessed via Entergy's Web site at www.entergy.com. A replay of the teleconference will be available for seven days thereafter by dialing 719-457-0820, confirmation code 2740813. The replay will also be available on Entergy's Web site at www.entergy.com.

Utility, Parent & Other

In second quarter 2008, Utility, Parent & Other had earnings of $123.4 million, or 62 cents per share, on an as-reported basis and earnings of $141.6 million, or 71 cents per share, on an operational basis, compared to $120.6 million, or 59 cents per share, in as-reported and operational earnings in second quarter 2007. Operational results for Utility, Parent & Other in second quarter 2008 reflect higher revenues from sales growth, partially offset by higher operation and maintenance expense. The higher expense primarily reflects increased charges for storm damages and loss reserves and higher employee benefits expense.

Megawatt-hour sales in the residential sector in second quarter 2008, on a weather-adjusted basis, showed a 2 percent increase compared to second quarter 2007. Commercial and governmental sales, after adjusting for weather, were up 3 percent compared to second quarter of last year. Industrial sales in the current quarter were down 1 percent compared to the same period one year ago.

The residential sales sector showed an increase quarter to quarter with sales growth across jurisdictions and the most significant increase on a percentage basis at Entergy New Orleans, Inc., where post-storm recovery continues. An increase in the number of customers also contributed to sales growth in the residential sector, as well as the commercial and governmental sectors. Sales in the industrial sector for second quarter 2008 decreased compared to the same quarter of 2007. High utilization in the refining and chemical segments continues to contribute to sales growth although gains in these segments were more than offset by weakness in pipelines and all segments associated with housing, including wood, pulp and paper. National economic weakness is affecting small and mid-sized industrial customers while efficiency improvements driven by high energy prices are producing declining sales in some areas.

Entergy Nuclear

Entergy Nuclear earned $143.6 million, or 73 cents per share, on as-reported and operational bases in second quarter 2008, compared to $108.7 million, or 54 cents per share, for as-reported and operational earnings in second quarter 2007. Entergy Nuclear's earnings increased as a result of additional production due to fewer outage days and from the Palisades plant acquired in second quarter 2007, as well as higher power prices. These items were partially offset by higher expense primarily associated with deferring costs for only one refueling outage during second quarter 2008 versus deferrals for two refueling outages in 2007 and the effect of including Palisades in the portfolio. An additional item partially offsetting the increase in results for the current quarter was an impairment recorded in second quarter 2008 in connection with decommissioning trust fund investments.

With respect to outage days, two planned refueling outages occurred in second quarter 2007 totaling 57 days while one planned refueling outage was completed in second quarter 2008 requiring 19 outage days. In addition, an extended unplanned outage of 28 days is reflected in second quarter 2007 results.

Non-Nuclear Wholesale Assets

Entergy's Non-Nuclear Wholesale Assets business earned $4.0 million, or 2 cents per share, on both as-reported and operational bases in second quarter 2008 compared to earnings of $38.3 million, or 19 cents per share, on as-reported and operational bases in second quarter 2007. The decrease was due primarily to the absence in the current period of the benefit of lower income tax expense in second quarter 2007 resulting from the resolution of tax audit issues.

Outlook

Entergy is reaffirming 2008 earnings guidance in the range of $6.50 to $6.90 per share on both as-reported and operational bases on a business-as-usual basis. Guidance for 2008 does not include a special item for expenses, a portion of which were incurred during the current quarter, anticipated in connection with the plan to pursue separation of Entergy's non-utility nuclear business and to enter into a nuclear services joint venture, both discussed below.

Business Separation

On Nov. 3, 2007, Entergy's Board of Directors approved a plan to pursue a separation of the non-utility nuclear business from Entergy's regulated utility business through a tax-free spin-off of the non-utility nuclear business. Enexus Energy Corporation, formerly referred to as SpinCo, will be a new, independent publicly traded company. In addition, Entergy and Enexus intend to enter into a nuclear services joint venture, with equal ownership. EquaGen L.L.C. has been selected as the name for the joint venture.

Progress achieved since the last quarter update includes:

• Key board and leadership positions at Enexus and EquaGen continued to be filled.
• Regulatory proceedings continued to advance.
  • The Nuclear Regulatory Commission approved the transaction on July 28, 2008.
  • In Vermont, testimony has been filed, the discovery process is complete and technical hearings begin today.
  • In New York, the initial discovery period ordered by the New York Public Service Commission expired and the presiding Administrative Law Judges (ALJs) issued a ruling slightly extending the discovery process, followed within three weeks by initial comments addressing defined issues, with reply comments due two weeks thereafter.
  • The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission approved the transaction on June 12, 2008.
  • In response to Securities and Exchange Commission comments issued June 9, 2008, an amended Form 10 will be filed in the near future.
  • At the Internal Revenue Service, Entergy has completed all submittals and is awaiting a response to its request for a private letter ruling finding that the spin-off transaction qualifies for tax-free treatment for federal income tax purposes for both Entergy and its shareholders.

Given receipt of critical NRC approval, the state regulatory approvals are now the critical path. Considering the ruling by the New York ALJs, Entergy now expects the spin completion to occur in the fourth quarter on a month end.

Entergy Corporation is an integrated energy company engaged primarily in electric power production and retail distribution operations. Entergy owns and operates power plants with approximately 30,000 megawatts of electric generating capacity, and it is the second-largest nuclear generator in the United States. Entergy delivers electricity to 2.7 million utility customers in Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas. Entergy has annual revenues of more than $11 billion and approximately 14,300 employees.

Additional information regarding Entergy's quarterly results of operations, regulatory proceedings, and other operations is available in Entergy's investor news release dated July 29, 2008, a copy of which has been filed today with the Securities Exchange Commission on Form 8-K and is available on Entergy's investor relations Web site at www.entergy.com/investor_relations.

Exhibit 99.3

STATEMENT ON USES AND USEFULNESS OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 to this Report on Form 8-K (the "Releases"), contain non-GAAP financial measures. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company's performance, financial position, or cash flows that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, Entergy has provided quantitative reconciliations within the Releases and the presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

Certain non-GAAP measures in the Releases could differ from GAAP only in that the figure or ratio states or includes operational earnings per share. Operational earnings per share is presented for each of Entergy's major business segments as well as on a consolidated basis. Operational earnings per share is not calculated in accordance with GAAP because it excludes the effect of "special items." Special items reflect the effect on earnings of events that are less routine, are related to prior periods, or are related to discontinued businesses. In the second quarter 2008 covered by the Releases, Entergy reported a special item for expenses incurred in connection with the plan to pursue the separation of Entergy's non-utility nuclear business and to enter into a nuclear services joint venture.. In addition, other financial measures including return on average invested capital (ROIC), return on average common equity (ROE), and net margin - operational are included on both an operational and as-reported basis. In each case, the metrics defined as "operational" would exclude the effect of special items as defined above. Management believes financial metrics calculated using operational earnings provides useful information to investors in evaluating the ongoing results of Entergy's businesses and assists investors in comparing the company's operating performance to the operating performance of others in the energy sector. Entergy management frequently references these non-GAAP financial measures in its decision-making, using them to facilitate historical and ongoing performance comparisons as well as comparisons to the performance of peer companies.

Other non-GAAP measures, total gross liquidity, net debt to net capital ratio, and net debt ratio including off-balance sheet liabilities are measures Entergy uses internally for management and board discussions, and cash budgeting and performance monitoring activities to gauge the overall strength of its business. Entergy believes the above data provides useful information to investors in evaluating Entergy's ongoing financial flexibility, and assists investors in comparing the company's cash availability to the cash availability of others in the energy sector.

Another non-GAAP measure presented in the Releases is EBITDA. EBITDA is a non-GAAP measurement Entergy has used to gauge Enexus' (formerly referred to as SpinCo) future operating performance. Entergy defines EBITDA as net earnings before the effect of interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is provided as a measure of Enexus' future performance and debt-service capacity that may be useful to securities analysis, investors and others. EBITDA is not, however, a measure of financial performance under GAAP. Due to the forward-looking nature of this non-GAAP measure, information to reconcile EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is not available at this time. Moreover, EBITDA is not calculated identically by all companies.

The non-GAAP financial measures and other reported adjusted items in Entergy's Releases are used in addition to, and in conjunction with, results presented in accordance with GAAP.  These non-GAAP financial measures should not be relied upon to the exclusion of GAAP financial measures.  These non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of our operations that, when viewed with our GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliations to corresponding GAAP financial measures, may provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business.  Investors are strongly encouraged to review our consolidated financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety and to not rely on any single financial measure.  Non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized; therefore, it may not be possible to compare these financial measures with other companies' non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names.
