Overview
Entergy Corp. is an electric utility company that generates, transmits, distributes and sells electricity to retail and wholesale customers. Its regulated utility operations serve customers in Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas, supported by a generation portfolio that includes nuclear, hydroelectric, solar and natural gas resources.[1]
Entergy’s stated purpose is “We power life today and for future generations,” and its mission is to create sustainable value for customers, employees, communities and owners.[2] The company serves more than 3 million customers and reported 12,233 employees in its 2026 fact sheet.[2][3] For the year ended December 31, 2025, consolidated operating revenues were approximately $12.95 billion.[4] [1][4][2][3]
Products & services
Entergy’s principal customer offering is electric utility service: it generates, transmits, distributes, and sells electricity to customers in parts of Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas. Its generation fleet has approximately 24,000 MW of capacity and uses natural gas, oil, nuclear, solar, hydroelectric, and coal resources.[5][6] The 2025 generation mix included combined-cycle and combustion-turbine gas, legacy gas, nuclear, coal, renewables, and purchased power, including MISO purchases; these figures describe energy sources, not revenue shares.[7]
Customer and business services include Power Through natural-gas standby generation, Fleet Solutions for vehicle electrification, eTech electric alternatives and incentives, and Shore Power for ships at dock.[8][9] Residential offerings include myAdvisor usage tracking and alerts, Level Billing, Pick-A-Date, AutoPay, and outage information.[10] Entergy’s former natural-gas distribution businesses were sold in 2025, so natural gas is described here as a generation fuel rather than a current local gas-distribution service.[11][5] [5][7][11][6][8][9][10]
Geographic presence
Entergy’s electric utility operations and retail customer base are concentrated in Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas, through its Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Orleans, and Texas utilities. At December 31, 2025, the company reported 3.1 million electric retail customers across an 88,228-square-mile service area: 738,000 in Arkansas, 1,115,000 in Louisiana, 459,000 in Mississippi, 209,000 in New Orleans, and 538,000 in Texas.[1][3]
Entergy Corporation’s principal executive office is in New Orleans, Louisiana. Its utility subsidiaries list principal offices in Little Rock, Arkansas; The Woodlands, Texas; Jefferson, Louisiana; and Jackson, Mississippi, in addition to New Orleans. These are filing-listed principal office locations, not a complete office inventory.[12] The reviewed filings do not provide a consolidated revenue breakdown by country or region, or an employee distribution by state.[1][13] [1][12][13][3]
Business segments
Entergy’s only reportable segment is **Utility**. It generates, transmits, distributes, and sells electricity in portions of Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas, including New Orleans. The segment includes five retail utility subsidiaries—Entergy Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Orleans, and Texas—as well as System Energy, which owns or leases 90% of Grand Gulf and sells its power and capacity wholesale to Entergy Arkansas, Mississippi, and New Orleans. Utility revenue is primarily from retail electric sales.[14][1]
On a FY2025 operating-revenue basis, Utility contributed about **99.5%** of consolidated revenue: $12.888 billion of $12.947 billion.[15] The Louisiana and New Orleans natural-gas distribution businesses were included in Utility only through June 30, 2025, before their sale became effective July 1, 2025.[1]
Entergy also identifies non-utility operations as an operating segment, but it does not meet the quantitative thresholds to be separately reportable. Its activities include interests in non-nuclear power plants selling electricity wholesale and nuclear-plant decommissioning services for unaffiliated owners; Parent & Other activity is reflected in the reconciliation to consolidated results rather than as another reportable segment.[14][16] [14][1][15][15][16]
Company history
Entergy traces its corporate lineage to Harvey Couch’s Arkansas Power & Light venture, begun in 1913. In 1949, Middle South Utilities was formed as a holding company for four regional utilities, and in 1989 it adopted the name Entergy Corporation.[17][18]
The company’s regulated nuclear generation expanded with Arkansas Nuclear One Unit 1 entering commercial operation in 1974, followed by Unit 2 in 1980; Grand Gulf and River Bend began operating in 1985 and 1986, respectively. Entergy combined with Gulf States Utilities in 1993, expanding its service area and adding River Bend to its nuclear fleet.[19][20][21][22]
From 2000 to 2002, Entergy acquired several merchant nuclear plants, including Indian Point, FitzPatrick and Vermont Yankee. It later sold these and other merchant plants, with the 2022 sale of Palisades completing its planned exit from the merchant nuclear power business. In 2015, it consolidated Entergy Louisiana and Entergy Gulf States Louisiana into one public utility.[23][24][25][26][27][28] [28][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27]
