Minimum Flow Turbine

The license allows for Entergy to add a modern turbine at Remmel Dam that can generate electricity with continuous low-water flows. The addition is not a requirement, but an option Entergy may exercise if it should become economically viable at some point during the life of the license. The continuous flow from Remmel Dam, which Entergy will provide with or without a new turbine, provides environmental benefits in the Ouachita River.
