 gas emissions and increase planning certainty for electric utilities.  By virtue of its proportionally large investment in low-emitting generation technologies, Entergy has a low overall carbon dioxide emission “intensity,” or rate of carbon dioxide emitted per megawatt-hour of electricity generated.  In anticipation of the imposition of carbon dioxide emission limits on the electric industry, Entergy initiated actions designed to reduce its exposure to potential new governmental requirements related to carbon dioxide emissions.  In 2019 Entergy announced a 2030 carbon dioxide emission rate goal focused on a 50% reduction from Entergy’s base year - 2000.  In September 2020, Entergy announced a commitment to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 inclusive of all businesses, all applicable gases, and all emission scopes.  In 2022, Entergy enhanced its commitment to include an interim goal of 50% carbon-free energy generating capacity by 2030 and expanded its interim emission rate goal to include all purchased power.  Due to stronger than initially expected sales growth, likely necessitating the development of new generation capacity that is not carbon-free, and uncertainty with respect to the tax credits applicable to carbon-free generation, Entergy believes that (1) achievement of the carbon intensity goal may be delayed beyond 2030 and (2) achievement of the carbon-free energy generating capacity goal will not be achieved by 2030.  As Entergy has communicated in various forums, its clean energy and carbon-reducing generation initiatives will be customer-led.  Also, Entergy recognizes and has communicated that carbon capture and storage is a technology that Entergy is well positioned to deploy in the future.  Entergy plans to pursue carbon capture and storage on new combined cycle generation when feasible and supported by customer demand.  Carbon capture and storage, while offering the potential to meet customers’ long-term clean energy demands, is not carbon-free nor will it be deployed in the immediate term.  See "Part I, Item 1A. RISK FACTORS" in the Form 10-K for discussion of the risks associated with achieving these climate goals.  Entergy’s comprehensive, third party verified greenhouse gas inventory and progress against its voluntary goals are published on its website.
