-free resources, which arrangements have the potential to lower the costs of such resources as reflected in the rates of the Utility operating companies to the benefit of their other customers.  This interest of prospective large-scale data center customers in sustainable and clean generating resources coincides with the Entergy’s own sustainability commitments and informs the Utility operating companies’ strategies and resource planning solutions to serve these prospective customers’ needs.  There can be no assurance that prospective large-scale data center customers will continue to prioritize sustainability or clean generating resources, which may affect the Utility operating companies’ strategies in the future.

Interconnections

The Utility operating companies’ generating units are interconnected to the electric system which operates at various voltages up to 500 kV.  These generating units consist of steam-turbine generators fueled by natural gas, coal, and pressurized and boiling water nuclear reactors; combustion-turbine generators, combined-cycle combustion turbine generators and reciprocating internal combustion engine generators that are fueled by natural gas; and inverter-based resources interconnecting both solar photovoltaic systems and energy storage devices that participate in the MISO wholesale electric market.  Additionally, some of the Utility operating companies also offer customer services and products that include load-modifying and demand response resources that are interconnected to both the distribution and transmission systems and that also participate in the wholesale market.  Entergy’s Utility operating companies are MISO market participants and the companies’ transmission systems are interconnected with those of many neighboring utilities.  MISO is an essential link in the safe, cost-effective delivery of electric power across all or parts of 15 U.S. states and the Canadian province of Manitoba.  In addition, the Utility operating companies are members of the SERC Reliability Corporation (SERC), the Regional Entity with delegated authority from the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) for the purpose of proposing and enforcing Bulk Electric System reliability standards within 16 central and southeastern states.
