RE: Entergy's Strategic Resource Plan Rick,From an IRP context we have not studied what we would do if W3 does not receive license extension.Natural gas combined cycles are the logical choice at this time. They are the most economic resource to serve base loadneeds. They also offer relatively short development and construction time (about five years). While demand sidemanagement could play a supporting role, ELL is already considering DSM to meet other needs.Biomass, new coal and new nuclear are not currently economic and new coal faces regulatory challenges. From anAmite South perspective there are really no existing merchants that could fill the void with long-term PPAs. Evenexcluding area planning issues we expect the current level of surplus capacity in MISO South to dwindle with the regionneeding more capacity (even if we have W3 license extension) by early-to-mid next decade.Other renewables are not desirable to fill a base load need.The only concern with natural gas is fuel cost risk and fuel supply security risk that come from making ELL moredependent on one fuel typ.

RE: Entergy's Strategic Resource PlanJim,In the unlikely event that the NRC did not renew the Waterford 3 operating license and the 2plant had to shut down on March 18, 2024 which is their initial operating licenseexpirationdate, hypothetically, what alternatives could potentially replace this loss of generation sincethe IRP assumes license extension for Waterford 3?For GGNS, NRC determined that the combination of alternatives that could potentiallyreplacethe loss of GGNS' generation if their license was not renewed as a sfollows:Natural gas combined cycle = 530 MWeBiomass = 360 MWeDemand-side management = 280 MWePurchased power = 305 MWeAny insights would be appreciated since we will have to evaluate a combination ofalternatives in the Waterford 3 license renewal application.Thanks,Rick Buckley, CHMM, REMSr. Project ManagerEntergy NuclearPost Office Box 31995Jackson, MS 39286-1995601-368-5823 (Office)601-927-5132 (Cellular)601-368-5812 (Fax)rbuckle@entergy.comThis e-mail and any attachments thereto are intended only for the use by theaddressee(s) named herein and contain proprietary and confidential information.

RE: Entergy's Strategic Resource Plan 3Rick,The IRP requiremment does not dictate that our resource plans have renewable resources in them, but it doesrequire us to evaluate them along with other supply as well as demand side resources.JimSent from my Verizon Wireless 4G LTE smartphone-------- Original message --------From: "BUCKLEY, RICKY N"Date:02/26/2014 5:44 PM (GMT-06:00)To: "LANNING, JIM"Cc: "WALZ, ANTHONY P"

RE: Entergy's Strategic Resource Plan Rick,The most current completed Strategic Resource Plan (now called an Integrated Resource Plan) for the Entergy Systemincluding ELL is the 2012 System IRP. I have attached the report. The Louisiana LPSC has developed an IRP requirementfor EGSL and ELL (and other large utilities operating in Louisiana), however, we have just started the process of revisingthe 2012 System IRP and don't expect to have a draft IRP until late in 2014 and a final report until mid 2015.Jim LanningRichard J.

Entergy's Strategic Resource PlanJim or Tony,Could you please tell me who manages the Entergy's Strategic Resource Plan thatdescribesthe long-term integrated resource plan for the Entergy System and its OperatingCompanies?I have a 2009 version but wasn't sure if it's the most current.We are currently working on Waterford 3's license renewal application toextend their current operating license an additional 20 years and one areathat I have to address in the environmental report is energy alternatives.So we typically base our replacement base-load alternatives on generationsources such as coal, natural gas or nuclear that are outlined in the Plan inthe event the Waterford 3 license is not renewed.We are also required to evaluate a combination of alternatives to replace theWaterford 3 facility. So your input into the types of this combination would beappreciated.Thanks,Rick Buckley, CHMM, REM 5Sr. Project ManagerEntergy NuclearPost Office Box 31995Jackson, MS 39286-1995601-368-5823 (Office)601-927-5132 (Cellular)601-368-5812 (Fax)rbuckle@entergy.comThis e-mail and any attachments thereto are intended only for the use by theaddressee(s) named herein and contain proprietary and confidential information.
