The effects of climate change, environmental and regulatory obligations intended to compel greenhouse gas emission reductions or increase clean or renewable energy requirements or to place a price on greenhouse gas emissions, or achieving voluntary climate commitments could materially affect the financial condition, results of operations, and liquidity of Entergy, the Utility operating companies, System Energy, and the Entergy Wholesale Commodities business.
In an effort to address climate change concerns, some federal, state, and local authorities are calling for additional laws and regulations aimed at known or suspected causes of climate change.
For example, the EPA, various environmental interest groups, and other organizations have focused considerable attention on CO2 emissions from power generation facilities and their potential role in climate change.
The EPA has promulgated regulations controlling greenhouse gas emissions from certain vehicles, and from new, existing, and significantly modified stationary sources of emissions, including electric generating units.
As examples of state action, in the Northeast, the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative establishes a cap on CO2 emissions from electric power plants and requires generators to purchase emission permits to cover their CO2 emissions, and a similar program has been developed in California.
In Louisiana, the Office of the Governor announced the creation of a Climate Initiatives Task Force and issued an executive order that established a path to net-zero emissions by 2050 while the City Council of New Orleans passed a renewable and clean portfolio standard that sets a goal of net-zero emissions by 2040 and absolute zero emissions by 2050.
The impact that continued changes in the governmental response to climate change risk will have on existing and pending environmental laws and regulations related to greenhouse gas emissions currently is unclear.
Developing and implementing plans for compliance with greenhouse gas emissions reduction or clean/renewable energy requirements, or for achieving voluntary climate commitments can lead to additional capital, personnel, and operation and maintenance expenditures and could significantly affect the economic position of existing facilities and proposed projects.
The operations of low or non-emitting generating units (such as nuclear units) at lower than expected capacity factors could require increased generation from higher emitting units, thus increasing Entergy’s greenhouse gas emission rate.
Moreover, long-term planning to meet environmental requirements can be negatively impacted and costs may increase to the extent laws and regulations change prior to full implementation.
These requirements could, in turn, lead to changes in the planning or operations of balancing authorities or organized markets in areas where the Utility operating companies, System Energy, or Entergy Wholesale Commodities do business.
Violations of such requirements may subject Entergy Wholesale Commodities and the Utility operating companies to enforcement actions, capital expenditures to bring existing facilities into compliance, additional operating costs or operating restrictions to achieve compliance, civil penalties, and exposure to third parties’ claims for alleged health or property damages or for violations of applicable permits or standards.
Further, real or perceived violations of environmental regulations, including those related to climate change, or inability to meet voluntary climate commitments, could adversely impact Entergy’s reputation or inhibit Entergy’s ability to pursue its decarbonization objectives.
To the extent Entergy believes any of these costs are recoverable in rates, however, additional material rate increases for customers could be resisted by Entergy’s regulators and, in extreme cases, Entergy’s regulators might attempt to deny or defer timely recovery of these costs.
Future changes in regulation or policies governing the emission of CO2 and other greenhouse gases or mix of generation sources could (i) result in significant additional costs to Entergy’s utility operating companies, their suppliers or customers, (ii) make some of Entergy’s electric generating units uneconomical to maintain or operate, (iii) result in the early retirement of generation facilities and stranded costs if Entergy’s utility operating companies are unable to fully recover the costs and investment in generation and (iv) could increase the difficulty that Entergy and its utility operating companies have with obtaining or maintaining required environmental regulatory approvals, each of which could materially affect the financial condition, results of operations, and liquidity of Entergy and its subsidiaries.
In addition, lawsuits have occurred or are reasonably expected against emitters of greenhouse gases alleging that these companies are liable for personal injuries and property damage caused by climate change.
These lawsuits may seek injunctive relief, monetary compensation, and punitive damages.
Part I Item 1A and 1B
Entergy Corporation, Utility operating companies, and System Energy
In September 2020, Entergy voluntarily committed to achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2050.
Technology research and development, innovation, and advancement are critical to Entergy’s ability to achieve this commitment.
Moreover, Entergy cannot predict the ultimate impact of achieving this objective, or the various implementation aspects, on its system reliability, or its results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.
The physical effects of climate change could materially affect the financial condition, results of operations, and liquidity of Entergy, the Utility operating companies, System Energy, and the Entergy Wholesale Commodities business.
Potential physical risks from climate change include an increase in sea level, wind and storm surge damages, more frequent or intense hurricanes and wildfires, wetland and barrier island erosion, risks of flooding and changes in weather conditions, (such as increases in precipitation, drought, or changes in average temperatures), and potential increased impacts of extreme weather conditions or storms.
Entergy subsidiaries own assets in, and serve, communities that are at risk from sea level rise, changes in weather conditions, storms, and loss of the protection offered by coastal wetlands.
A significant portion of the nation’s oil and gas infrastructure is located in these areas and susceptible to storm damage that could be aggravated by the physical impacts of climate change, which could give rise to fuel supply interruptions and price spikes.
Entergy and its subsidiaries also face the risk that climate change could impact the availability and quality of water supplies necessary for operations.
These and other physical changes could result in changes in customer demand, increased costs associated with repairing and maintaining generation facilities and transmission and distribution systems resulting in increased maintenance and capital costs (and potential increased financing needs), limits on the Entergy System’s ability to meet peak customer demand, more frequent and longer lasting outages, increased regulatory oversight, criticism or adverse publicity, and lower customer satisfaction.
Also, to the extent that climate change adversely impacts the economic health of a region or results in energy conservation or demand side management programs, it may adversely impact customer demand and revenues.
Such physical or operational risks could have a material effect on Entergy’s, Entergy Wholesale Commodities’, System Energy’s, and the Utility operating companies’ financial condition, results of operations, and liquidity.
Due in part to the recent increase in frequency and intensity of major storm activity along the Gulf Coast, Entergy is developing plans to accelerate investments that would enhance the resilience of the electric systems of the Utility operating companies to enable them to better withstand major storms or other adverse weather events, to enable more rapid restoration of electricity after major storm or other adverse events, and to deliver electricity to critical customers more immediately after such events.
The need for this investment and these expenditures could give rise to liquidity, capital or other financing-related risks as well as result in upward pressure on the retail rates of the Utility operating companies, which, particularly when combined with upward pressure resulting from the recovery of the costs of recent and future storms, may result in adverse actions by the Utility operating companies’ retail regulators or effectively limit the ability to make other planned capital or other investments.
Continued and future availability and quality of water for cooling, process, and sanitary uses could materially affect the financial condition, results of operations, and liquidity of the Utility operating companies, System Energy, and the Entergy Wholesale Commodities business.
Water is a vital natural resource that is also critical to the Utility operating companies’, System Energy’s, and Entergy Wholesale Commodities’ business operations.
Entergy’s facilities use water for cooling, boiler make-up, sanitary uses, potable supply, and many other uses.
Entergy’s Utility operating companies also own and/or operate hydroelectric facilities.
Accordingly, water availability and quality are critical to Entergy’s business operations.
Impacts to water availability or quality could negatively impact both operations and revenues.
Entergy secures water through various mechanisms (ground water wells, surface waters intakes, municipal supply, etc.) and operates under the provisions and conditions set forth by the provider and/or regulatory authorities.
Entergy also obtains and operates in substantial compliance with water discharge permits issued under

MANAGEMENT’S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
The COVID-19 Pandemic
See “The COVID-19 Pandemic” section of Entergy Corporation and Subsidiaries Management’s Financial Discussion and Analysis for a discussion of the COVID-19 pandemic.
February 2021 Winter Storms
See the “February 2021 Winter Storms” section of Entergy Corporation and Subsidiaries Management’s Financial Discussion and Analysis for a discussion of the February 2021 winter storms.
Entergy Arkansas’s preliminary estimate for the cost of mobilizing crews and restoring power is approximately $10 million.
Natural gas purchases for Entergy Arkansas for February 1st through 25th, 2021 are approximately $105 million compared to natural gas purchases for February 2020 of $10 million.
Results of Operations
2020 Compared to 2019
Net Income
Net income decreased $17.7 million primarily due to lower volume/weather, a formula rate plan provision recorded in 2020 to reflect the 2019 historical year netting adjustment, and higher depreciation and amortization expenses, partially offset by higher retail electric price and lower other operation and maintenance expenses.
Operating Revenues
Following is an analysis of the change in operating revenues comparing 2020 to 2019:
| | | | | | |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| | | | Amount | | |
| | | | (In Millions) | | |
| 2019 operating revenues | | | $2,259.6 | | |
| Fuel, rider, and other revenues that do not significantly affect net income | | | (278.5) | | |
| Volume/weather | | | (72.2) | | |
| Retail electric price | | | 57.4 | | |
| Return of unprotected excess accumulated deferred income taxes to customers | | | 118.2 | | |
| 2020 operating revenues | | | $2,084.5 | | |
Entergy Arkansas’s results include revenues from rate mechanisms designed to recover fuel, purchased power, and other costs such that the revenues and expenses associated with these items generally offset and do not affect net income.
“Fuel, rider, and other revenues that do not significantly affect net income” includes the revenue variance associated with these items.
The volume/weather variance is primarily due to a decrease of 1,069 GWh, or 5%, in billed electricity usage, including decreased commercial and industrial usage as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the effect of less favorable weather on residential and commercial sales, partially offset by an increase in residential usage as a

result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
See “The COVID-19 Pandemic” section of Entergy Corporation and Subsidiaries Management’s Financial Discussion and Analysis for discussion of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The retail electric price variance is primarily due to the $56.5 million annual formula rate plan increase related to the 2020 projected test year included in the 2019 formula rate plan filing effective with the first billing cycle of January 2020.
See Note 2 to the financial statements for further discussion of the formula rate plan filing.
The return of unprotected excess accumulated deferred income taxes to customers resulted from the return of unprotected excess accumulated deferred income taxes through a tax adjustment rider beginning in April 2018.
In 2020, $8.1 million was returned to customers as compared to $126.3 million in 2019.
There is no effect on net income as the reduction in operating revenues in each period was offset by a reduction in income tax expense.
See Note 2 to the financial statements for further discussion of regulatory activity regarding the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.
Other Income Statement Variances
Nuclear refueling outage expenses decreased primarily due to the amortization of lower costs associated with the most recent outages as compared to previous outages.
Other operation and maintenance expenses decreased primarily due to:

costs through the purchase of emission allowances.
In April 2021, addressing the D.C. Circuit’s remand, the EPA finalized revisions to the Update Rule, which became effective June 29, 2021.
Entergy is currently analyzing the potential impact on its facilities in Louisiana.
Early indications are that the cost of Group 3 allowances will increase significantly (approximately $3,000 per allowance) in the near-term, which could impact the cost to dispatch Entergy’s legacy gas units located in Louisiana.
However, Entergy’s 2021 ozone season NOx emissions were below 2020 levels and it does not appear that additional allowances will be needed to satisfy Entergy’s 2021 obligations.
The final determination will be made in March 2022.
This rule establishes a series of 10-year planning periods, with states required to develop State Implementation Plans (SIPs) for each planning period, with each SIP including such air pollution control measures as may be necessary to achieve the ultimate goal of the CAVR by the year 2064.
The various states are currently in the process of developing SIPs to implement the second planning period of the CAVR, which addresses the 2018-2028 planning period.
The District Court approved and entered the proposed settlement in March 2021.
Entergy met the settlement deadline to use low-sulfur coal and is on target to
meet the other requirements of the settlement.
Louisiana has issued its draft SIP which, at this time, does not propose any additional air emissions controls for the affected Entergy units in Louisiana.
Some public commenters, however, believe additional air controls are cost-effective.
It is not yet clear how the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality (LDEQ) will respond in its final SIP, and the agency, like many other state agencies, did not meet the July 31, 2021 deadline to submit a SIP to the EPA for review.
The LDEQ is now expected to finalize its Regional Haze SIP in early 2022.

(a)Power operations ceased at the Indian Point 2 plant in April 2020.
The fuel was permanently removed from the reactor vessel and placed in the spent fuel pool in May 2020.
(b)The Palisades plant is expected to cease operations on May 31, 2022.
There is a contract to sell the plant to Holtec subject to NRC and other regulatory approvals.
These facilities are in various stages of the decommissioning process.
The Indian Point plants fall under the authority of the New York Independent System Operator (NYISO).
Entergy Wholesale Commodities enters into forward contracts with its customers and also sells energy in the day ahead or spot markets.
Entergy Wholesale Commodities also sells unforced capacity, which allows load-serving entities to meet specified reserve and related requirements placed on them by the ISOs in their respective areas.
Entergy Wholesale Commodities’ forward physical power contracts consist of contracts to sell energy only, contracts to sell capacity only, and bundled contracts in which it sells both capacity and energy.
While the terminology and payment mechanics vary in these contracts, each of these types of contracts requires Entergy Wholesale Commodities to deliver MWh of energy, make capacity available, or both.
See “Market and Credit Risk Sensitive Instruments” in Entergy Corporation and Subsidiaries Management’s Financial Discussion and Analysis for additional information regarding these contracts.
The NYISO market is highly competitive.
Entergy Wholesale Commodities has numerous competitors in New York including generation companies affiliated with regulated utilities, other independent power producers, municipal and co-operative generators, owners of co-generation plants and wholesale power marketers.
Entergy Wholesale Commodities is an independent power producer, which means it generates power for sale to third parties at day ahead or spot market prices to the extent that the power is not sold under a fixed price contract.
Municipal and co-operative generators also generate power but use most of it to deliver power to their municipal or co-operative power customers.
Owners of co-generation plants produce power primarily for their own consumption.
Wholesale power marketers do not own generation; rather they buy power from generators or other market participants and resell it to retail providers or other market participants.
Competition in the New York power market is affected by, among other factors, the amount of generation and transmission capacity in these markets.
while Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. acts as the agent for the purchase of nuclear fuel assembly fabrication services.
The FitzPatrick spent fuel disposal contract was assigned to Exelon as part of the sale of the plant, completed in March 2017.
The Vermont Yankee spent fuel disposal contract was assigned to NorthStar as part of the sale of the plant in January 2019.

Hurricane Ida
In August 2021, Hurricane Ida caused extensive damage to the Entergy distribution and, to a lesser extent, transmission systems across Louisiana resulting in widespread power outages.
Entergy recorded corresponding regulatory assets of approximately $1.1 billion and construction work in progress of approximately $1.6 billion.
Entergy is considering all available avenues to recover storm-related costs from Hurricane Ida, including federal government assistance and securitization financing.
In September 2021, Entergy Louisiana filed an application at the LPSC seeking approval of certain ratemaking adjustments in connection with the issuance of approximately $1 billion of shorter-term mortgage bonds to provide interim financing for restoration costs associated with Hurricane Ida, which bonds were issued in October 2021.
Also in September 2021, Entergy Louisiana sought approval for the creation and funding of a $1 billion restricted escrow account for Hurricane Ida restoration costs.
In September 2021, Entergy New Orleans withdrew $39 million from its funded storm reserves.
In February 2022, Entergy New Orleans filed with the City Council a securitization application requesting that the City Council review Entergy New Orleans’s storm reserve and increase the storm reserve funding level to $150 million, to be funded through securitization.

ENTERGY ARKANSAS, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT’S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Results of Operations
2021 Compared to 2020
Net Income
Net income increased $53.3 million primarily due to higher volume/weather and higher retail electric price, partially offset by a higher effective income tax rate, higher depreciation and amortization expenses, and higher other operation and maintenance expenses.
Operating Revenues
Following is an analysis of the change in operating revenues comparing 2021 to 2020:
| | | | | | |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| | | | Amount | | |
| | | | (In Millions) | | |
| 2020 operating revenues | | | $2,084.5 | | |
| Fuel, rider, and other revenues that do not significantly affect net income | | | 170.5 | | |
| Volume/weather | | | 46.4 | | |
| Retail electric price | | | 37.2 | | |
| 2021 operating revenues | | | $2,338.6 | | |
Entergy Arkansas’s results include revenues from rate mechanisms designed to recover fuel, purchased power, and other costs such that the revenues and expenses associated with these items generally offset and do not affect net income.
“Fuel, rider, and other revenues that do not significantly affect net income” includes the revenue variance associated with these items.
The volume/weather variance is primarily due to an increase of 1,531 GWh, or 7%, in billed electricity usage, including an increase in industrial usage and the effect of more favorable weather on residential and commercial sales.
The increase in industrial usage is primarily due to an increase in demand from expansion projects, primarily in the metals industry.
The retail electric price variance is primarily due to an increase in formula rate plan rates effective May 2021.
See Note 2 to the financial statements for further discussion of the 2020 formula rate plan filing.

[added: -] In recent [removed: performance periods, Entergy Corporation has] [added: years, we have] used two financial measures to determine awards under the [removed: LTIP –] [added: PUP —] a cumulative [removed: earnings per share (EPS)] [added: EPS] measure [removed: (most recently cumulative ETR Adjusted EPS)] and relative [removed: total shareholder return (“TSR”).][added: TSR.]
To emphasize the importance of strong [removed: cash generation] [added: credit] for the long-term health of [removed: its] [added: our] business, [removed: Entergy Corporation is replacing] [added: for] the [added: 2021 – 2023 PUP performance period we replaced the] EPS measure with a credit measure – [removed: adjusted] [added: Adjusted] FFO/Debt [removed: ratio for the 2021 – 2023 performance period.][added: Ratio.]
[added: -] The adjusted FFO/Debt ratio is the ratio of: (i) adjusted funds from operations calculated as operating cash flow adjusted for allowance for funds used during construction, working capital and the effects of securitization revenue, and the [removed: pre-defined exclusions discussed above for the annual incentives;] [added: Pre-Determined Exclusions;] to (ii) total debt, excluding outstanding or pending securitization debt.
[added: -] The Personnel Committee decided to use this ratio because it emphasizes financial stability, noting that a financially healthy utility creates the capacity to make investments on behalf of customers, addresses the needs of [added: our] communities, provides low-cost access to capital [removed: markets] [added: markets,] and promotes employee confidence.
[removed: 2020] [added: 2021] Incentive Payouts
Performance measures and targets for the [removed: 2020 annual incentive] [added: 2021 STI] awards were determined by the Personnel Committee in January [removed: 2020 and the targets and measures for the 2018 – 2020 LTIP performance cycle were][added: 2021.]

| Practice | | | Description | | | | | | | | |
| Short and Long-Term Incentive Measures Drive Desired Employee Behaviors | | | Performance measures for the Short-Term Incentive (STI) and Long-Term Incentive programs incentivize employee behaviors that serve the Company’s key stakeholders: | | | | | | | | |
| | | | • | | | Customers – Net Promoter Score (NPS). | | | | | |
| | | | • | | | Employees – Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging (DIB) and Safety. | | | | | |
| | | | • | | | Communities – Environmental Stewardship, DIB. | | | | | |
| | | | • | | | Owners – Earnings Per Share, Credit, TSR. | | | | | |
| Robust Stock Ownership Guidelines | | | The Company requires executive officers to own a significant amount of Entergy stock. | | | | | | | | |
| Rigorous Goals | | | We set financial goals based on externally disclosed annual and multi-year guidance and outlooks, and non-financial goals based on rigorous internal review. | | | | | | | | |
| Clawback Policy | | | This policy allows recovery of incentive cash, equity compensation and severance payments where a payment was based on financial results that were the subject of a material restatement, a material miscalculation of a performance award or an executive officer engaged in fraud that caused or partially caused the need for a restatement or a material miscalculation of a performance award. | | | | | | | | |
| No Hedging of Company Stock | | | Entergy’s directors, executive officers and employees may not directly or indirectly engage in transactions intended to hedge or offset the market value of the Company’s common stock owned by them. | | | | | | | | |
| No Pledging of Company Stock | | | Entergy’s directors and executive officers may not directly or indirectly pledge Entergy common stock as collateral for any obligation. | | | | | | | | |
| Practice | | | Description | | | | | | | | |
| No Dividends on Unearned Performance Awards | | | The Company does not pay dividends on unearned performance awards. | | | | | | | | |
| No Repricing or Exchange of Underwater Stock Options | | | The Company’s equity incentive plan does not permit repricing or the exchange of underwater stock options without the approval of its shareholders. | | | | | | | | |
| No Employment Agreements | | | The Company does not have employment contracts with its executive officers. | | | | | | | | |
| Independent Compensation Consultant | | | The Personnel Committee retains an independent compensation consultant to advise on the executive compensation programs and practices. | | | | | | | | |
| Annual Say-on-Pay | | | The Company values the input of its shareholders on the executive compensation programs. Entergy’s Board seeks an annual non-binding advisory vote from shareholders to approve the executive compensation disclosed in the CD&A, tabular disclosure, and related narrative of the Company’s annual proxy statements. | | | | | | | | |
| Annual Compensation Risk Assessment | | | A risk assessment of the compensation programs is performed on an annual basis to ensure that the programs and policies do not incentivize unnecessary or excessive risk-taking behavior. | | | | | | | | |
Targets and measures for the 2019 – 2021 performance cycle for the long-term performance units were established in January 2019.
STI Awards
In January 2021, the Personnel Committee determined that the EAM that would determine the overall funding level for the 2021 STI awards would be based on financial and ESG measures with the financial measure weighted 60% and the ESG measures collectively accounting for the remaining 40%.
ESG Measures: To demonstrate Entergy’s strong commitment to its ESG goals and link executive compensation more directly to the achievement of those objectives, the Personnel Committee decided that 40% of the EAM would be determined on the basis of progress achieved in the following areas, each of which would be weighted equally: Safety; Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging; Environmental Stewardship; and the Customer Net Promoter Score, or NPS.
| STI Performance Goals(1) | | | 2021 Percentage of EAM | | | Target | | | 2021 Results | | | Level of Achievement | | |
| Safety (SIF Rate) | | | 10% | | | 0.03 | | | ___(2) | | | 0% | | |
| Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging | | | 10% | | | Qualitative | | | | | | 110% | | |
| Environmental Stewardship | | | 10% | | | Qualitative | | | | | | 140% | | |
| Customer NPS | | | 10% | | | 9 | | | 11.2 | | | 131% | | |
(1) See “What Entergy Corporation Pays and Why – 2021 Compensation Decisions – STI Compensation – ESG Measures and Targets” for a discussion of the performance assessment of the Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging and Environmental Stewardship performance measures.
(2) Measure defaulted to achievement level of 0% due to one employee and two contractor fatalities in 2021.
2021 SIF results were 0.05 for employees and 0.15 for contractors.
(3) After consideration of individual performance, NEO payouts averaged 124% of target.

For information regarding certain relationship, related transactions and director independence of Entergy Corporation, see the Entergy Corporation Proxy Statement under the headings “Corporate Governance - Director Independence” and “Corporate Governance - Corporate Governance Policies - Review and Approval of Related Party Transactions.”
Entergy Corporation’s Board of Directors has adopted a written Related Party Transaction Approval Policy that applies to any transaction or series of transactions in which Entergy Corporation or a subsidiary is a participant:
- When the amount involved exceeds $120,000; and
- When a Related Party (an Entergy Corporation director or executive officer, any nominee for director, any shareholder owning an excess of 5% of the total equity of Entergy Corporation and any immediate family member of any such person) has a direct or indirect material interest in such transaction(s) (other than solely as a result of being a director or a less than 10% beneficial owner of another entity).
The policy is administered by Entergy Corporation’s Corporate Governance Committee.
The committee will consider relevant facts and circumstance in determining whether or not to approve or ratify such a transaction, and will approve or ratify only those transactions that are, in the Corporate Governance Committee’s judgment, appropriate or desirable under the circumstances.
The Corporate Governance Committee has determined that certain types of transactions do not create or involve a direct or indirect material interest, including (i) compensation and related party transactions involving a director or an executive officer solely resulting from service as a director or employment with Entergy Corporation so long as the compensation is approved by the Entergy Corporation Board of Directors (or an appropriate committee); (ii) transactions involving public utility services at rates or charges fixed in conformity with law or governmental authority; or (iii) all business relationships between Entergy Corporation and a Related Party made in the ordinary course of business on terms and conditions generally available in the marketplace an in accordance with applicable law.
To Entergy Corporation’s knowledge, since January 1, 2020, neither Entergy Corporation nor any of its affiliates has participated in any Related Party transaction.
