 with the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit and the court granted the motion to expedite.  As a result of the adverse decision by the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas, Entergy Arkansas concluded that it could no longer support the recognition of its $131.8 million regulatory asset reflecting the previously-expected recovery of a portion of the costs at issue in the opportunity sales proceeding and recorded a $131.8 million ($99.1 million net-of-tax) charge to earnings in first quarter 2024.

In January 2025 the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit denied Entergy Arkansas’s petition.  In April 2025, Entergy Arkansas filed a petition for certiorari with the United States Supreme Court.

Generating Arkansas Jobs Act of 2025

In March 2025 the State of Arkansas passed the Generating Arkansas Jobs Act of 2025, now Act 373 (Act 373), that authorizes the recovery of financing costs during construction of generation and transmission investments through a rider separate from the formula rate plan.  Act 373 also permits cost recovery of those investments when completed and in service, either through the next general rate case proceeding or under the formula rate plan.  Act 373 streamlines and simplifies the regulatory approval process and provides increased timeliness and certainty of cost recovery.
