Commission pursuant to Sections 6(a),

7, 9(a), 10 and 12(d) of the Public Utility

Holding Company Act of 1935 (‘‘Act’’)

and Rules 44 and 54 thereunder. A

notice of this transaction was originally

issued by the Commission on November

28, 1994 (HCAR No. 26173).

SERI proposes from time to time

through December 31, 1996 (a) to issue

and sell one or more series of its first

mortgage bonds (‘‘Bonds’’) and/or its

debentures (‘‘Debentures’’) in a

combined aggregate principal amount

not to exceed $265 million, and (b) to

enter into arrangements for the issuance

and sale of tax-exempt revenue bonds

(‘‘Tax-Exempt Bonds’’) in an aggregate

principal amount not to exceed $235

million. Additionally, SERI requests

authority through December 31, 1996 to

issue and pledge one or more new series

of its first mortgage bonds in an

aggregate principal amount not to

exceed $251 million (‘‘Collateral

Bonds’’) as security for the Tax-Exempt

Bonds.

Each series of Bonds will have such

interest rate, maturity date, redemption

and sinking fund provisions, be secured

by such means and sold in such manner

and at such price and have such other

terms and conditions as shall be

determined at the time of sale. However,

the maturity of the Bonds and the

Debentures will in no case exceed forty

years. Further, the rate on the Bonds

and the Debentures, which may be fixed

or variable, will not exceed 15%.

Additionally, holders of Bonds or

Debentures would have the right to

tender, or be required to tender, their

Bonds or Debentures and have them

purchased at a price equal to the

principal amount thereof, plus any

accrued and unpaid interest thereon, on

dates specified in, or established in

accordance with the indenture pursuant

to which they will be issued.

In order to provide additional security

for its obligations with respect to the

Bonds, SERI may assign for the benefit

of the holders of the Bonds certain of its

rights under the Availability Agreement,

dated as of June 21, 1974, as amended

(‘‘Availability Agreement’’). Pursuant to

this agreement, the Operating

Subsidiaries have agreed to pay SERI

certain amounts for expenses incurred

by SERI in connection with the

operation of a nuclear-powered electric

generating station in Mississippi.

As further security for its obligations

with respect to the Bonds, SERI may

assign certain of its rights under the

Capital Funds Agreement dates as of

June 21, 1974 (‘‘Capital Funds

Agreement’’). Pursuant to the terms of

this agreement, Entergy has agreed to

provide SERI, among other things,

capital sufficient to enable SERI to

maintain a 35% equity ratio, as defined

in that agreement.

SERI proposes to use the net proceeds

derived from the issuance and sale of

the Bonds for general corporate

purposes, including, but not limited to,

(i) the acquisition and retirement, by

means of tender offer, or open market,

negotiated or other forms of purchases,

or redemption in whole or in part, prior

to their respective maturities, of one or

more series of SERI’s outstanding first

mortgage bonds, (ii) the payment of

construction costs and nuclear fuel

costs, (iii) the repayment of long- and

short-term borrowings and/or (iv) other

working capital needs.

SERI also requests authority to enter

into arrangements for the issuance of

Tax-Exempt Bonds by governmental

authorities (‘‘Issuer’’) in an aggregate

principal amount not to exceed $235

million. Each series of Tax-Exempt

Bonds will have such interest rate,

maturity date, redemption and sinking

fund provisions, be secured by such

means, be sold in such manner and at

such price, and have such other terms

and conditions as shall be determined at

the time of sale. However, it is proposed

that each series of the Tax-Exempt

Bonds mature not earlier than five years

from the first day of the month of

issuance nor later than forty years from

the date of issuance.

Under the proposed arrangements,

SERI would enter into one or more

installment purchase, refunding or other

facilities agreements (‘‘Facilities

Agreement’’) or one or more

supplements and/or amendments

thereto with one or more Issuers.

Pursuant to the terms of each Facilities

Agreement, the Issuer will pay to or

provide for the benefit of SERI the total

amount of the proceeds of the TaxExempt Bonds and SERI will agree to

pay amounts sufficient to pay the

principal or redemption price of,

premium, if any, and interest on the

Tax-Exempt Bonds.

In order to obtain a more favorable

rating on any series of Tax-Exempt

Bonds, SERI may arrange for one or

more irrevocable letter(s) of credit

(‘‘Letter of Credit’’) for an aggregate

amount up to $285 million from one or

more banks (‘‘Bank’’). In connection

with any such Letter of Credit, SERI

would enter into a Reimbursement
