            ENTERGY REPORTS ANOTHER QUARTER OF RECORD EARNINGS,
                             UP 36% OVER 1999

NEW   ORLEANS  -    Entergy  Corporation  announced  second  quarter   2000
consolidated earnings per share of $1.04, compared with $0.81 in 1999.   On
an  operational basis, Entergy earned $0.98 per share, up 36% when compared
with $0.72 in 1999.  The increase was driven by improved results in all  of
Entergy's  businesses.   Earnings per share from operations  set  a  second
quarter record for the company - following a record first quarter.

"With two consecutive record-setting quarters, we are well on our way to  a
year  of  outstanding  execution  and earnings,"  said  J.  Wayne  Leonard,
Entergy's chief executive officer.  "The core utility business continues to
contribute  solid earnings, while the competitive businesses are  producing
strong earnings growth.  In the second quarter, we laid the groundwork  for
sustained  earnings  growth from our competitive  businesses.   Key  events
announced  in the second quarter included an energy commodity venture  with
Koch  Industries, a joint venture with The Shaw Group to construct electric
power plants, and a memorandum of understanding with Framatome Technologies
to  assist  U.S.  nuclear  plant operators in  securing  renewal  of  their
operating licenses."

Table 1 provides a comparative summary of earnings per share for the second
quarter and year-to-date 2000.

________________

(a) Net revenue increases in 2000 were a result of strong sales growth and
    hotter than normal weather in the second quarter, increasing earnings per
    share by $0.03 and $0.06 for the quarter and year-to-date, respectively.
    2000 net revenue was also up over 1999 due to two prior year special
    items: a $(0.06) per share regulatory and reserve adjustment and a
    $(0.03) per share SERI refund adjustment.  2000 year-to-date net revenue
    was unfavorably impacted by a $(0.07) regulatory and reserve special item
    adjustment in the first quarter.

(b) Net  revenue  increased  in  2000 as a result  of  Pilgrim  operations
    (acquired in July 1999), contributing $0.14 and $0.27 per share for the
    quarter and year-to-date, respectively.  Year-to-date 2000 net revenue
    also increased due to trading operations, up $0.12 per share over 1999.

(c) Miscellaneous-net  increased  $0.10 in second quarter 2000 from
    liquidated damages received in compensation for lost earnings from
    operations of EWO's delayed Saltend plant in the U.K.

(d) Interest & other charges decreased in 2000 primarily as a result of a
    1999 interest expense adjustment of ($0.05) per share recorded for the
    pending refund at SERI.

(e) Gain  on  sale of assets in 2000 decreased as a result of prior year
    gains of $0.07 per share on the sale of Edesur, $0.03 per share on the
    sale of Hyperion, and $0.02 per share CitiPower purchase  price
    adjustment, offset by the current quarter's gain of $0.06 per share on
    the sale of the Freestone project in Texas.

(f) Other O&M increased in 2000 primarily as a result of increased  plant-
    related expenses and reliability spending.

(g) Other O&M increased in 2000 primarily as a result of Pilgrim operations
    offset by lower O&M resulting from retail business divestitures in 1999.

(h) Income  statement line items are tax-affected at the  statutory  rate.
    Differences between the statutory and effective rates are reflected in
    the income taxes - other line.  Income taxes - other at the Competitive
    Businesses were affected by foreign tax credits taken in 1999.




Quarterly Overview

Second quarter 2000 revenues were down 8% overall compared with 1999 due to
power trading operations, which had lower volumes in 2000 than in 1999.  At
the  utility, electric revenues increased 3% in second quarter 2000, driven
by favorable weather, sales growth, and increased fuel revenues.  Excluding
trading, revenues for the competitive businesses were up sharply because of
operations at the Pilgrim plant, which was acquired in July 1999.

For  the consolidated company, second quarter 2000 fuel expenses were  down
5% from 1999, due to lower fuel expenses in the trading business, partially
offset  by higher fuel costs at the utility due to the rise in natural  gas
prices.   Purchased  power was down 26% overall due to trading  operations.
Purchased  power at the utility, however, increased as a result  of  higher
prices  in  2000  and plant maintenance outages.  Other O&M  increased  10%
overall  in  2000, due to Pilgrim operations at the competitive  businesses
and maintenance outages at the utility.  Operating income increased 19%  in
the  second  quarter  of  2000, primarily as a result  of  the  competitive
businesses' improved operations.

Other income increased 17% in the second quarter of 2000.  The gain on sale
of assets was lower in 2000, as 1999's second quarter included the sales of
Edesur and Hyperion.  This was partially offset by a gain from the sale  of
the  Freestone plant in 2000.  Miscellaneous net increased  in  2000  as  a
result  of  the liquidated damages received due to delayed construction  of
the Saltend plant in the U.K.  Interest expenses were lower by 10% in 2000,
primarily as a result of the SERI refund adjustment made in 1999, which was
identified as a special item.  The effective tax rate was 37.9%  in  second
quarter  2000, higher than 1999's rate of 29.2%, due to foreign tax credits
identified as a special item in 1999.


U.S. Utility

In  the second quarter of 2000, utility operational earnings were $0.78 per
share,  15% higher than second quarter 1999's total of $0.68.  Weather  was
more  favorable  in  2000, contributing $0.10 per share to  second  quarter
earnings  compared  with $0.08 in 1999.  Second quarter 2000  earnings  per
share were also helped by sales growth of 1.1% on a weather-adjusted volume
basis  (see  appendix), special item regulatory reserves  recorded  in  the
prior  period  and  fewer outstanding shares due to  the  share  repurchase
program.   Partially offsetting these are special item  adjustments  for  a
change  in  the  calculation of unbilled revenues reported  in  the  second
quarter  of  1999 and current period increases in O&M spending  on  various
reliability initiatives to prepare for summer peak demand.


Parent & Other

Parent  &  Other  earnings  per share were $0.06 in  second  quarter  2000,
compared with a loss of $(0.05) in 1999.  While investment income  was  the
same as last year at $0.04 per share, 2000 results benefited from lower O&M
expenses  at  the  parent,  shifting of the  Gulf  States  merger  goodwill
amortization from parent to the utility, and telecommunications earnings.


Competitive Businesses

On  an as reported basis, the competitive businesses earned $0.20 per share
in  the  second quarter of 2000, compared with $0.19 in the same period  of
1999.   Second  quarter 2000 results include a $0.06 per  share  gain  from
Entergy Wholesale Operation's (EWO) sale of the Freestone project in Texas.
This gain has been identified as a special item (see Table 5).

On  an  operational basis, second quarter 2000 earnings per share from  the
competitive businesses were $0.14, 56% higher than the $0.09 total in 1999.
EWO  earned $0.09 per share in 2000, comprised primarily of $0.10 per share
for  liquidated damages for delayed construction of the Saltend project and
$0.02  from  trading  operations.  On  a  comparative  basis,  EWO's   2000
operational earnings contribution for the second quarter was flat to  1999,
which  included  a  $0.07  gain from the sale  of  the  Edesur  project  in
Argentina.  Entergy Nuclear earned $0.05 per share in the second quarter of
2000, compared with zero earnings in the same period of 1999 as a result of
continued strong performance at the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station.
Table  4  provides a 2000 vs. 1999 comparison of contributions by  business
for   the  second  quarter  and  year-to-date,  on  both  as  reported  and
operational bases.

Table 5 lists special items by business for the second quarter and year-to-
date  for  2000  and 1999.  Special items are those events  that  are  non-
routine,  are  related  to  prior  periods,  or  result  from  discontinued
operations.   The intent is to identify separately the earnings  impact  of
special  events  in  order to report solely the results  of  the  company's
ongoing operations.

Share Repurchase Program

During second quarter 2000, 8.8 million shares were repurchased at a  total
cost of $233 million.  Since the share repurchase program was initiated  in
July  1999,  through June 30, 2000, $618 million of the $750 million  Board
authorized share repurchase program were utilized to purchase 24.1  million
shares.  The program is expected to be completed by the end of 2000.


Earnings Review and Outlook

"Financial  results were very strong in the second quarter," said  C.  John
Wilder,  Entergy's  chief  financial officer.  "Solid  performance  at  the
utility  drove earnings growth well beyond the impact of favorable weather,
while  the competitive businesses contributed over 14% of total operational
earnings.   Based on the strong first half of the year, we  have  increased
our 2000 earnings target to $2.55 to $2.65 per share up from $2.35 to $2.45
- - an 8% increase, and 18 to 22% above 1999 operational results."

Other Performance Highlights

Operating  cash  flows increased 12% in second quarter 2000  when  compared
with  the same period in 1999, largely as a result of higher income in  the
2000  period.  The improvements in cash flow are amplified on a  per  share
basis with fewer shares in 2000 as a result of the repurchase program.

Cash  return  on average investment improved slightly in the twelve  months
ending  June  2000.  Return on average common equity rose significantly  in
the  twelve  months ending June 2000, up 20% relative to  the  same  period
ending June 1999.  The increase was a result of strong income growth and  a
reduction  in  common equity in the more recent period  due  to  the  stock
repurchase program.  The share repurchase program reduced the book value of
the  company as treasury stock reduced common equity by $618 million.  This
was partially offset by a $342 million increase in retained earnings.  With
9%  fewer  shares in 2000, however, the book value per share for June  2000
was higher than for the earlier period.

(l) "Cash  return  on  average investment" is  12-months  rolling  EBITDA
    divided  by  average  total  assets plus  accumulated  depreciation  less
    current liabilities - 1999 EBTIDA excludes the gains from sales of London
    Electricity and CitiPower.  This metric is a measure of Entergy's ability
    to generate cash relative to its gross investments.

(m) "Return  on  average common equity" is 12-months  rolling  net  income
    divided by average common equity - net income excludes all special items.
    This  metric  is a measure of Entergy's ability to generate profits  from
    equity received from common shareholders.

(n) "Book  value  per share" is common equity divided by  end  of  period
    shares  outstanding.   This metric is a measure  of  the  book  value  of
    Entergy's net assets per share.
