Who is FERC?
Entergy owns the shorelines and underlying bed of both Lake Catherine and Lake
Hamilton. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, or FERC, is the federal
agency that grants authority to private interests to dam public waterways and
use those impoundments for hydroelectric generation. Entergy first obtained a
license in 1923. FERC regulates Electric, Hydro, Gas and Oil markets. For more
