The Entergy Wholesale Commodities business is sometimes referred to as the “competitive businesses.”  Eliminations were primarily intersegment activity. Almost all of Entergy’s goodwill was related to the Utility segment.
As discussed in Note 13 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K, Entergy management has undertaken a strategy to manage and reduce the risk of the Entergy Wholesale Commodities business, which includes taking actions to shut down and sell all of its plants in the merchant nuclear fleet. These decisions and transactions resulted in asset impairments; employee retention and severance expenses and other benefits-related costs; and contracted economic development contributions.
