About Entergy

Our purpose

We power life today and for future generations

That means we do more than provide electric and natural gas service. We’re listening so we can continue to better serve, better support and better build the future, together.

Who we are

Entergy produces, transmits and distributes electricity to power life for 3 million customers through our operating companies in Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas. We’re investing for growth and improved reliability and resilience of our energy system while working to keep energy rates affordable for our customers. We’re also investing in cleaner energy generation like modern natural gas, nuclear and renewable energy. A nationally recognized leader in sustainability and corporate citizenship, we deliver more than $100 million in economic benefits each year to the communities we serve through philanthropy, volunteerism and advocacy. Entergy is a Fortune 500 company headquartered in New Orleans, Louisiana, and has approximately 12,000 employees.

What we do

We exist to grow a world-class energy business that creates sustainable value for our four stakeholders — our customers, employees, communities and owners. This has been our mission for many years. We understood early on that in order to create real, sustainable value, the decisions we make and the strategies we pursue must benefit all stakeholders.

Our business

Utility operations

We are growing our utility business by providing customers with clean, reliable energy at a reasonable cost, superior service, a commitment to safety, operational excellence and an engaged workforce.

Our electric utilities generate, transmit, distribute and sell electric power in a four-state service area that includes portions of Arkansas, Mississippi, Texas and Louisiana, including the city of New Orleans. We also operate natural gas distribution businesses in New Orleans and Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

Entergy owns or operates approximately 24,000 megawatts of generating capacity and owns 16,100 circuit miles of interconnected high-voltage transmission lines. We also operate and maintain equipment along more than 106,400 circuit miles of distribution lines across our 91,000 square-mile service area.

Our customers are connected to the Midcontinent Independent System Operator power grid, which is a regional transmission organization responsible for administering the transmission systems of member utilities in 15 states stretching across the central region of the United States and Manitoba, Canada.

Nuclear operations

We own and operate a fleet of nuclear reactors in four locations in the United States. Our fleet generates approximately 5,000 megawatts of clean, carbon-free nuclear power, which is critical in meeting our climate commitments to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. Our nuclear fleet headquarters is located in Jackson, Mississippi.

The impact we make

We’re committed to strong shared values and supporting the communities where we live and work, all while celebrating the differences that make each one of us unique. We’re working to help build a better future for everyone, everywhere we live and work.

“We’re responsible for something greater than just delivering electricity. We provide an essential service that helps our customers and communities stay safe, healthy and continue to live their lives each day. We power life.”

Students are learning to fly drones, and Entergy is here for it

Some high school students in Arkansas are learning how to fly unmanned aerial vehicles, better known as drones. For Entergy employees and departments already using drone technology, it’s good news that a generation of potential future employees in the state have an interest in this growing aspect of utility industry work.

More tech, more comfort. Our summer smart thermostat sale just got even better

Summer is tough on your HVAC system, especially with constant thermostat adjustments as everyone tries to stay comfortable. Between the triple-digit heat, different temperature preferences, travel plans and the need to avoid an overworked HVAC system, keeping your home cool without raising your energy bill can feel like a full-time job.

Beat the Heat Day provides relief from high summer temperatures

Just in time for the peak of summer activities, Entergy Mississippi is contributing $628,000 to help older adults and customers with disabilities with their bills. The bill assistance, which includes contributions from employees, customers and shareholders, is distributed through Entergy’s The Power to Care program. The company announced the contributions during Beat the Heat Day events, where they gave away fans and energy efficiency kits to households in need.
