Following is an update to the “Environmental Regulation” section of Part I, Item 1 of the Form 10-K.

National Ambient Air Quality Standards

See the Form 10-K for discussion of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) set by the EPA in accordance with the Clean Air Act. Following is an update to that discussion.

Good Neighbor Plan/Cross-State Air Pollution Rule

In March 2023 the EPA released its final rule, known as the Good Neighbor Plan, to address interstate transport for the 2015 ozone NAAQS which will increase the stringency of the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule program in all four of the states where the Utility operating companies operate. The rule will significantly reduce ozone season nitrogen oxides (NOx) emission allowance budgets and allocations for electric generating units. Entergy is currently assessing its compliance options for the final rule. This may include the installation of post-combustion NOx emissions controls on certain coal or large legacy gas units that will operate beyond 2026 and are not currently equipped with such controls. Prior to issuance of the final rule, in February 2023 the EPA issued related State Implementation Plan (SIP) disapprovals for many states, including the four states in which the Utility operating companies operate, and these SIP disapprovals are the subject of many legal challenges, including a petition for review filed by Entergy Louisiana challenging the disapproval of Louisiana’s SIP.
