About Entergy Corporation

Entergy Corporation, headquartered in New Orleans, Louisiana, is a prominent American energy company primarily involved in generating and distributing electricity across the United States. Its operations are divided into two main divisions: Utility and Entergy Wholesale Commodities.

This service covers specific regions of Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas, including the metropolitan area of New Orleans, providing electricity to 3 million utility customers in these states. Additionally, this segment handles natural gas distribution.

Collectively, its power plants boast an approximate generating capacity of 26,000 megawatts (MW), with 6,000 MW specifically from nuclear sources.
