UTILITY NUCLEAR PLANTS

Entergy owns and operates five nuclear units at four plant sites to serve its regulated utility business: Arkansas Nuclear One (ANO) Units 1 and 2 near Russelville, Arkansas; Grand Gulf Nuclear Station in Port Gibson, Mississippi; River Bend Station in St. Francisville, Louisiana; and Waterford 3 in Taft, Louisiana.

 

(a) Effective December 31, 2007, Entergy Gulf States, Inc. completed a jurisdictional separation into two vertically integrated utility companies, one operating under the sole retail jurisdiction of the PUCT, Entergy Texas, Inc., and the other operating under the sole retail jurisdiction of the LPSC, Entergy Gulf States Louisiana, L.L.C., Entergy Gulf States Louisiana, L.L.C. is the successor for financial reporting purposes to Entergy Gulf States, Inc.

 

(b) On September 23, 2005, Entergy New Orleans filed a voluntary petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code to protect its customers and ensure continued progress in restoring power and gas service to New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. As a result of the bankruptcy filing, Entergy discontinued the consolidation of Entergy New Orleans retroactive to January 1, 2005. Entergy New Orleans emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy effective May 8, 2007, pursuant to the Confirmation Order from the Bankruptcy Court confirming Entergy New Orleans’ Plan of Reorganization. With confirmation of the plan of reorganization, Entergy reconsolidated Entergy New Orleans in the second quarter 2007, retroactive to January 1, 2007.

 

ENTERGY NUCLEAR

Entergy’s non-utility nuclear business owns and operates six nuclear units in the northern United States. This business is primarily focused on selling power produced by those plants to wholesale customers. This business also provides operations and management services to nuclear power plants owned by other utilities in the United States.

 Six units in northern U.S.

      Pilgrim Nuclear Station in Plymouth, Massachusetts

      James A. FitzPatrick in Oswego, New York

      Indian Point Units 2 and 3 in Buchanan, New York

      Vermont Yankee in Vernon, Vermont

      Palisades Nuclear Energy Plant in South Haven, Michigan

 4,998 MW owned generating capacity

 800 MW under management services contract

      Cooper Nuclear Station located near Brownville, Nebraska

 Contracts (ongoing and completed) with other nuclear owners to manage decommissioning for 2 plants and license renewal for 4 plants

ENEXUS ENERGY CORPORATION / EQUAGEN, LLC

In November 2007, Entergy’s Board of Directors approved a plan to pursue a separation of the Non-Utility Nuclear business from Entergy through a tax-free spin-off of Non-Utility Nuclear to Entergy shareholders. Enexus will be a new, separate, and publicly-traded company. In addition, under the plan, Enexus and Entergy are expected to enter into a nuclear services business joint venture, EquaGen, with 50% ownership by Enexus and 50% ownership by Entergy.

Entergy expects that Enexus’ business will be substantially comprised of Non-Utility Nuclear’s assets, including its six nuclear units, and Non-Utility Nuclear’s power marketing operation. Entergy’s remaining business will primarily be comprised of the Utility business. 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 relicensing, and plant operations for the Cooper Nuclear Station and others.

Deteriorating financial market conditions in late 2008 and a longer than planned regulatory approval process caused the spin-off and nuclear services business joint venture transactions to be delayed. Entergy is in a position of rolling readiness, prepared to act once acceptable regulatory approvals are received and the timing is right to access financial markets. Entergy remains committed to maximizing the value that continues to exist in its non-utility nuclear assets.

ENERGY COMMODITY SERVICES

The energy commodity services business includes Entergy-Koch and Entergy’s Non-Nuclear Wholesale Assets business. Entergy-Koch engaged in two major businesses: energy commodity marketing and trading through Entergy-Koch Trading, and gas transportation and storage through Gulf South Pipeline. Entergy-Koch sold both of these businesses in the fourth quarter of 2004, and Entergy-Koch is no longer an operating entity.

NON-NUCLEAR WHOLESALE ASSETS BUSINESS

Entergy’s Non-Nuclear Wholesale Assets business sells to wholesale customers the electric power produced by power plants that it owns or controls (1,353 net MW generating capacity) while it focuses on improving performance and exploring sales or restructuring opportunities for its power plants. Such opportunities are evaluated consistent with Entergy’s market-based point of view.

(a) In December 2005, Entergy Corporation sold 10 million equity units with a stated amount of $50 each. An equity unit consisted of (1) a note, initially due February 2011 and initially bearing interest at an annual rate of 5.75%, and (2) a purchase contract that obligated the holder of the equity unit to purchase for $50 between 0.5705 and 0.7074 shares of Entergy Corporation common stock on or before February 17, 2009. Entergy paid the holders quarterly contract adjustment payments of 1.875% per year on the stated amount of $50 per equity unit. Under the terms of the purchase contracts, Entergy attempted to remarket the notes in February 2009 but was unsuccessful, the note holders put the notes to Entergy, Entergy retired the notes, and Entergy issued 6,598,000 shares of common stock in the settlement of the purchase contracts.

     FRP     

•   In October 2006, the City Council of New Orleans 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. Rate settlement in place until next base rate case was filed in July 31, 2008. The agreement discontinued FRP, but allowed ENOI to seek reinstatement of an appropriate FRP following resetting of rates in 2009.

•   With New Orleans’ recovery taking place faster than expected, in December 2007, ENOI announced a voluntary 6.15% base rate credit on electric bills.

•   On April 2, 2009, the City Council of New Orleans approved a comprehensive settlement. A new three-year formula rate plan was adopted, with terms including an 11.1% electric ROE with a +/- 40 bp bandwidth and a 10.75% gas ROE with a +/- 50 bp bandwidth. Earnings outside the bandwidth reset to the midpoint ROE, with the difference flowing to customers or ENOI depending on whether ENOI is over or under-earning. FRP also includes a recovery mechanism for the City Council approved capacity additions, plus provisions for extraordinary cost changes and force majeure. The settlement also implements energy conservation and demand programs.

•   2005 legislation authorized two riders – incremental purchased power capacity costs up to five percent of annual base rate revenues and transition to competition costs.

                 

•   $18M annual purchased power rider implemented December 2005 with first reconciliation filing in May 2006 reconciling capacity from previous September forward. In January 2008, an agreement was filed to increase purchased power rider to $21M and add a surcharge for $10.3M of under-recovered costs.

                 

•   $14.5M annual TTC rider implemented March 2006. Black box settlement designed to provide a fair return and recovery of costs on the balance sheet.

                 

•   The unanimous settlement eliminated the incremental purchased power capacity cost rider but did not affect the TTC rider.

             Rate Case     

•   During 2008, base rates were set at rates approved by the PUCT in June 1999.

                 

•   ETI filed a rate case in September 2007. A unanimous settlement was reached by parties on December 16, 2008.

                 

•   On March 11, 2009, the Public Utility Commission of Texas approved the unanimous settlement which implemented interim rates effective January 28, 2009, for usage beginning December 19, 2008.

Under the new tariff Grand Gulf non-fuel costs will be recovered through base rates but Resource Plan non-fuel costs will continue to be collected through the Fuel Adjustment Clause. The new tariff will become effective on June 1, 2009.
                            Gas: Monthly reset based on estimated gas costs plus a surcharge or credit for the under- or over-recovered fuel balance based on the most recent 12 months Mcf sales.

(a) NYPA retained the decommissioning trusts and decommissioning liability. NYPA and Entergy executed decommissioning agreements, specifying their decommissioning obligations. NYPA has the right to require Entergy to assume the decommissioning liability provided that it assigns the corresponding decommissioning trust, up to a specified level, to Entergy. If the decommissioning liability is retained by NYPA, Entergy will perform the decommissioning of the plants at a price equal to the lesser of a pre-specified level or the amount in the decommissioning trusts. Entergy believes that the amounts available to it under either scenario are sufficient to cover the future decommissioning costs without any additional contributions to the trusts.

DEFINITIONS OF OPERATIONAL MEASURES AND GAAP AND NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

 

NUCLEAR OPERATIONAL MEASURES      
Net MW in operation    Installed capacity owned or operated by Entergy Nuclear
Average realized price per MWh    As-reported revenue per MWh billed for all non-utility nuclear operations
Production cost per MWh    Fuel and non-fuel operation and maintenance expenses according to accounting standards that directly relate to the production of electricity per MWh
GWh billed    Total number of GWh billed to all customers
Capability factor    The percentage of the maximum energy generation a plant is capable of supplying to the grid, limited only by factors within control of plant management. A high capability factor indicates effective plant programs and practices to minimize unplanned energy losses and to optimize planned outages
Capacity factor    Normalized percentage of the period that the plant generates power
Refueling outage duration    Number of days lost for scheduled refueling outage during the period
Financial measures defined in the below table include measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), as well as non- GAAP measures. Non-GAAP measures are included in this report in order to provide metrics that remove the effect of less routine financial impacts from commonly used financial metrics.
FINANCIAL MEASURES – GAAP      
Return on average invested capital – as-reported    12-months rolling earnings adjusted to include preferred dividends and tax-effected interest expense divided by average invested capital
Return on average common equity – as-reported    12-months rolling earnings divided by average common equity
Net margin – as-reported    12-months rolling earnings divided by 12-months rolling revenue
Cash flow interest coverage    12-months cash flow from operating activities plus 12-months rolling interest paid, divided by interest expense
