Credit crunch may delay Entergy spin-off
Entergy has said that its planned separation of its non-utility nuclear business from its regulated utility business through a tax-free spin-off may be postponed due to the current global financial crisis. In November 2007, the company announced plans to create Enexus Energy Corp to be a standalone owner of six of its current 11-reactor fleet. In addition, it plans to create another company, Equagen, to take operating responsibility for the Enexus' and Entergy's reactors. In a filing to the US Securities and Exchange Commission, Entergy said, "State regulatory decisions and financing are now the critical path. Entergy continues to target receiving regulatory decisions in the fourth quarter. However, due to unprecedented turmoil in the financial markets, it is uncertain whether or not financing fundamental to the spin-off transaction can be effected in the near-term." It added, "Entergy and Enexus stand ready to launch the financing when market conditions are favourable for such an issuance."

Entergy prepares for Gustav
US utility Entergy said it was monitoring Hurricane Gustav and making preparations for the storm, which is to make landfall in Louisiana today. As a precaution the company has shut down its Waterford nuclear power plant, some 20 miles west of New Orleans. The US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) requires plants to shut down if winds reach hurricane strength. Forecasts indicated maximum sustained winds at Waterford of about 88 mph (140 km/h) from Gustav. NRC chairman Dale Klein said: "We are taking this situation very seriously and closely coordinating with the nuclear power plants that are potentially in the storm's path." He added, "We are confident in the plants' ability to withstand tremendous natural forces." Other nuclear power plants in the Gulf coast region - River Bend in Louisiana; Grand Gulf in Mississippi; and South Texas Project - said they do not expect hurricane force winds at their plants. Entergy said that a "significant portion" of its customers could experience power outages, especially in Louisiana.
