About the Company
At Entergy (NYSE: ETR), we power life. More than 100 years ago, our founder Harvey Couch started this company with a handshake, some sawdust and a vision. Couch wanted to bring safe, affordable, reliable energy to the Middle South – energy that would power the lives of people and communities. Today, Entergy is an integrated energy company engaged primarily in electric power production and retail distribution operations. We own and operate power plants with approximately 30,000 megawatts of electric generating capacity, including nearly 9,000 megawatts of nuclear power. The 13,000 men and women of Entergy deliver electricity to 2.9 million utility customers in Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas, generating annual revenues of approximately $11 billion. Headquartered in New Orleans, we continue to play a driving role in the economic growth of the Gulf South. Our work matters. That`s been true for more than 100 years. And as we look to the next century, we remember the constant that bridges our past and future: We Power Life. Fast Facts: New Orleans, home to our corporate headquarters, has been named the second favorite American city in Travel + Leisure`s 2017 survey of locals about their home towns. Our 2016 employee safety performance ranked in the first decile of the Edison Electric Institute benchmark survey. Entergy Corporation and the Entergy Charitable Foundation annually award grants totaling more than $19 million to almost 3,000 nonprofits in communities where we operate. With a total of 26 awards from EEI for its restoration and mutual-assistance work, Entergy remains the only utility company to have won either EEI`s Recovery or Assistance Award, or both, every year since the awards began in 1998.
