million, including approximately $137 million of projects to be funded by Entergy Texas and approximately $198 million of projects contingent upon Entergy Texas’s receipt of grant funds in that amount from the Texas Energy Fund.  The projects in Phase I include distribution and transmission hardening and modernization projects and targeted vegetation management projects to mitigate the risk of wildfire.  These projects are expected to be implemented within approximately three years of PUCT approval.  In October 2024, Entergy Texas filed an unopposed settlement that would resolve all issues in the proceeding and the PUCT staff filed testimony in support of the unopposed settlement.  In January 2025 the PUCT unanimously approved Phase I of Entergy Texas’s Texas Future Ready Resiliency Plan, including the approximately $137 million of projects to be funded by Entergy Texas and application of performance metrics consistent with the unopposed settlement.  The PUCT clarified that, while not part of Entergy Texas’s Phase I plan, Entergy Texas is permitted to pursue the remaining $198 million of identified projects and Texas Energy Fund grant funding for those projects.  In February 2025 the PUCT issued an order adopting a new rule establishing the procedures for application to the grant fund and Entergy Texas intends to pursue an application.

Total restoration costs for the repair and/or replacement of Entergy Texas’s electric facilities damaged by Hurricane Beryl are currently estimated to be approximately $85 million.  Based on the historic treatment of such costs in Entergy Texas’s service area, management believes that recovery
