Leading the way: Investing in a cleaner, more resilient tomorrow
Our focus on environmental stewardship is an integral part of who we are and how we help create sustainable value for our communities. We understand that protecting our natural resources is necessary for meeting our stakeholders’ needs today and those of future generations. We’re working to address climate issues, reduce greenhouse gas emissions across our value chain and protect our natural resources.
As we transform our generation portfolio to cleaner resources, we are also delivering meaningful environmental, social and economic value to the communities we serve, now and in the future. We were the first U.S. utility to set a voluntary greenhouse gas emissions goal in 2001. Today, we operate one of the cleanest large-scale power generation fleets in the country, as noted by the independent 2024 Emissions Benchmarking Report.

This chart illustrates the carbon dioxide emission rate of the top 20 privately or investor-owned U.S. power producers.
We are continuing to expand our power generation fleet to meet the need of anticipated growth in our service area — including new data centers and other large customers — with cleaner technologies. This strategy supports Entergy’s commitment to achieving net-zero emissions and helps customers meet their own environmental goals through the use of low- and zero-carbon power.
The percentage of renewable and nuclear energy includes energy procured or produced for the benefit of certain customers through special tariffs, contracts, or renewable program subscriptions, and those customers retain the exclusive claims to all associated environmental attributes, RECs, and other relevant clean energy certifications.

We maintain a forward-looking environmental management vision statement and recently combined our environmental management policy into a revised environmental, occupational health and safety policy. Our vision statement and policy commit us to consider sustainability in all that we do, not only through our environmentally responsible behavior but also through our support of initiatives that promote local and global prosperity. Other environmental guiding documents and resources are included with other sustainability disclosures here.
