 passed through to customers in rates.  In April 2021, System Energy and the other respondents filed their motion to dismiss and answer to the complaint.  System Energy requested that the FERC dismiss the claims within the complaint.  With respect to the claim concerning operations, System Energy argued that the complaint did not meet its legal burden because, among other reasons, it failed to allege any specific imprudent conduct.  With respect to the claim concerning the uprate, System Energy argued that the complaint failed because, among other reasons, the complainants’ own conduct prevented them from raising a serious doubt as to the prudence of the uprate.  System Energy also requested that the FERC dismiss other elements of the complaint, including the proposed modifications to the Unit Power Sales Agreement, because they were not warranted.  In February 2023 the FERC issued an order denying rehearing and thereby affirming its order setting the complaint for settlement and hearing procedures.  In July 2023 the FERC chief ALJ terminated settlement procedures and appointed a presiding ALJ to oversee hearing procedures.  In September 2023 a procedural schedule for hearing procedures was established.  Also in September 2023 the LPSC authorized its staff to file an additional complaint concerning the prudence of System Energy’s operation and management of Grand Gulf in the year 2022.  In October 2023 the LPSC, the APSC, and the City Council filed what they styled as an amended and supplemental complaint with the FERC against System Energy, Entergy Services, and Entergy Operations.  In November 2023, System Energy answered the amended and supplemental complaint.  Pursuant to the procedural schedule, the complainants’ testimony in the original complaint proceeding was filed in December 2023.  System Energy’s answering testimony was filed in May 2024, and the FERC trial staff’s direct and answering testimony was filed in June 2024.As discussed below in “System Energy Settlement with the APSC,” “System Energy Settlement with the City Council,” and “System Energy Settlement with the LPSC,” the APSC, the City Council, and the LPSC have settled all of their claims related to this proceeding.System Energy Settlement with the MPSCIn June 2022, System Energy, Entergy Mississippi, and additional named Entergy parties involved in thirteen docketed proceedings before the FERC filed with the FERC a partial settlement agreement and offer of settlement.
