                  ENTERGY ACHIEVES RECORD SECOND QUARTER,
                  NUCLEAR AND TRADING EXCEED EXPECTATIONS


NEW ORLEANS - Entergy Corporation announced second quarter 2001 consolidated
earnings per share of $1.06, compared with $1.04 in 2000.  On an operational
basis, Entergy earned $1.06 per share, up 8 percent when compared with $0.98
in 2000, in spite of mild weather in 2001.  Entergy experienced unusually
hot weather in the second quarter of 2000 which accounted for $0.10 of the
earnings for that period. The 2001 increase was primarily driven by improved
results at Entergy's competitive nuclear and trading businesses.

"Another quarter of record earnings demonstrates Entergy's ability to deliver
on our commitments," said J. Wayne Leonard, Entergy's chief executive officer.
"Today we are pleased to share further evidence of the success and
profitability of our strategy as our businesses continue to exceed
expectations. We've yet to realize all the upside potential in these
businesses and will work during the remainder of 2001 and beyond to capture
every available opportunity to create tangible value for our shareholders."


Table 1 provides a comparative summary of earnings per share for the second
quarter and year-to-date 2001.

U.S. Utility

In second quarter 2001, as reported and operational utility earnings were
$0.74 per share, compared with $0.78 for the same period in 2000.  There were
no special items included at the utility in either quarter. The slight
decrease in earnings was due primarily to less favorable weather in the
current period. Weather in second quarter 2001 was relatively normal, while
much warmer than normal weather contributed $0.10 to earnings per share in
second quarter 2000.

Mild weather and reduced usage in the current period lowered residential
sales by 2 percent, compared to second quarter 2000. Commercial sales were
flat, while higher fuel prices and weak economic conditions reduced megawatt
hour sales in the industrial sector by 3 percent quarter over quarter. The
impact of reduced sales and net revenues was partially offset by lower
expenses in 2001. Operation and maintenance expenses per megawatt hour
generated were down 11 percent for the quarter, in part due to the reversal
of Entergy Arkansas' storm damage costs. Costs previously expensed were
transferred to a regulatory asset account to align with the Arkansas Public
Service Commission's recommendations for future recovery.

The utility continued its focus on reliability and customer service.
Reliability complaints to regulators declined 33% compared to second quarter
2000. Also, the utility's twelve month ended average outage frequency and
average outage duration decreased by 6 percent and 7 percent, respectively
and these improvements were achieved while working more safely.

Table 2 provides a summary of the utility's key operational measures with
quarter to quarter and year-to-date comparisons.

_______________________________________________________________________________


Parent & Other

Parent & Other earnings per share were $0.03 in second quarter 2001, compared
with $0.06 in second quarter 2000. The decrease in second quarter 2001 was
due primarily to lower investment income compared to second quarter 2000
as a result of a combination of reduced investment balances and investment
yields.

Competitive Businesses
On an as reported basis, the competitive businesses earned $0.29 per share
in second quarter 2001, an increase of 45 percent compared with the $0.20
earned in the same period of 2000. Second quarter 2000 results include one
special item, a $0.06 gain recorded at Entergy Wholesale Operations on the
sale of the Freestone project. Excluding this gain, operational earnings
increased 107 percent, from $0.14 in second quarter 2000 to $0.29 in second
quarter 2001.

_______________________________________________________________________________

Entergy Nuclear

Entergy Nuclear earned $0.15 per share compared to $0.05 in second quarter
2000. The increase was due primarily to increased revenue resulting from
the addition of Indian Point 3 and FitzPatrick nuclear units acquired in late
2000.  Also, operating expenses for second quarter 2001 were lower due to
refueling outages and the timing of other operation and maintenance expenses.
ENI achieved a 200 percent increase in earnings in spite of scheduled refueling
outages completed during second quarter 2001 at Pilgrim and Indian Point 3
resulting in each unit being out of service for nearly one-third of the
quarter. These refueling outages lowered ENI's average capacity factor to
77.8 percent for second quarter 2001. However, the outages were completed in
28 days at Pilgrim and 26 days at Indian Point 3, which were decreases of 54%
and 35%, respectively, compared to previous refueling outage times.

ENI's success in closing transactions and its ability to achieve operational
excellence resulted in an increase in its net MW in operation by 269 percent
over just one year ago and increased GWh generated by 195 percent during the
second quarter 2001 over the comparable period in 2000.  ENI's overall
performance reflects its commitment to a continuous focus on safe and
efficient operations.

Entergy-Koch

Entergy-Koch completed its first full quarter of operations and contributed
$0.20 to earnings per share. This compares to $0.03 contributed by Entergy
Power Marketing Corp. in second quarter 2000.

Axia Energy, Entergy-Koch's trading and marketing subsidiary, contributed
the majority of the quarter's earnings.  Axia's profitability was primarily
the result of electricity and gas trading during the second quarter, driven
by a 5 percent increase in gas marketed.

The Gulf South pipeline also experienced increased profitability in second
quarter 2001 due primarily to increases in average transportation rates.
Gulf South had higher earnings in spite of a 10 percent decrease in
throughput that drove the pipeline's per unit production cost up 6 percent
for the quarter, as fixed costs were spread over fewer units. The reduced
throughput resulted from reduced demand and weaker economic conditions.

Favorable market conditions caused reported earnings for Entergy-Koch to be
better than anticipated. In addition, results were affected by certain terms
of the partnership arrangements that allocate income (and the taxes on that
income) from various sources on a disproportionate basis.  These
disproportionate allocations, which were favorable to Entergy in the
aggregate, contributed to the better than anticipated results.

Entergy Wholesale Operations

EWO recorded a loss of $(0.06) in second quarter 2001 on an operational basis
as compared with $0.06 in earnings per share for second quarter 2000. Earnings
per share were positively impacted in 2000 by the receipt of liquidated damages
on the Saltend project in the United Kingdom.  Unfavorable market conditions
in the U.K. during second quarter 2001 negatively impacted earnings results
for Saltend and Damhead Creek, EWO's two operating plants in the U.K. This
impact was partially offset by a $0.03 gain recorded in 2001 on the sale of
DeSoto, a development site in Florida. Entergy began including modest gains
or losses such as this in operational earnings in 2001, consistent with its
stated strategy of managing wholesale operations as a portfolio of assets.

As of the end of second quarter 2001, EWO's net MW in operation increased by
178 percent while MW under construction decreased by 74 percent due to the
start of commercial operations of Saltend and Damhead Creek.  EWO announced
the sale of the Saltend plant to Calpine Corporation in early July 2001, the
gain on which will be recorded in Entergy's third quarter 2001 results. EWO's
total megawatts announced or in development increased substantially as of
June 30, 2001, compared to June 30, 2000, as a result of its continuing
efforts to site turbines in North America and to expand into European markets.

(a) Net revenue decreased in second quarter 2001 due primarily to comparatively
    milder weather in the current quarter vs. 2000, lower industrial sales,
    and an adjustment to the Entergy Arkansas TCA account related to storm
    damage costs as recommended by the APSC staff. Year-to-date 2001 net
    revenue increased over 2000 due primarily to more favorable weather over
    the first half of 2001 vs. 2000 and the absence of any regulatory and
    other reserve adjustments which negatively impacted 2000 revenues.
    Partially offsetting these positive impacts were lower industrial sales
    and the 2001 TCA adjustment at Entergy Arkansas.

(b) Net revenue increased as a result of the inclusion of operations from
    Indian Point 3 and Fitzpatrick of $0.26 and $0.56 per share, respectively.
(c) Other income (deductions) increased due primarily to Entergy -Koch
    earnings of $0.20 and $0.27, for the quarter and year-to-date,
    respectively. Damhead Creek liquidated damages of $0.04 received in
    first quarter 2001 also improved the year-to-date comparative results.
    Offsetting the increases in both periods was Saltend liquidated damages
    of $0.10 recorded in second quarter 2000.
(d) Gain (loss) on sale of assets decreased due to the second quarter 2001
    DeSoto project gain of $0.03 offset by second quarter 2000 Freestone
    gain of $0.06.
(e) Other operation & maintenance expense decreased primarily due to
    reversing $0.07 of storm damage expenses at Entergy Arkansas to align
    with the APSC's recommendations for future recovery, and to lower
    fossil and nuclear plant expenses.
(f) Other operation & maintenance expense increased due primarily to
    inclusion of operations from Indian Point 3, Fitzpatrick, Saltend and
    Damhead Creek.
(g) Depreciation expense increased in both periods due to the commercial
    operation of the U.K. assets and the addition of Indian Point 3 and
    Fitzpatrick.
(h) Income statement line items are tax -affected at the statutory rate
    with differences between this rate and effective rates reflected in the
    income taxes - other line.
(i) Interest expense & other charges increased for the quarter and
    year-to-date due to increased long-term debt at the Utility, increased
    regulatory reserve-related interest expense and increased short term
    borrowings at the Parent.
(j) Interest expense & other charges increased for the quarter and
    year-to-date due to financing the Indian Point 3 and Fitzpatrick
    acquisitions and inclusion of interest expense for Saltend and Damhead
    Creek, which was previously being capitalized during construction.
(k) Other taxes expense increased due to higher franchise taxes at utility
    due to higher fuel revenue, and property taxes incurred for Indian
    Point 3 and Fitzpatrick.

Other Performance Highlights

Entergy generated $416 million in operating cash in second quarter 2001, a
decrease of 18 percent compared to second quarter 2000. Both quarterly and
year-to-date decreases in operating cash were attributed primarily to lower
earnings and liquidated damages from U.K. assets, fuel expenses and ice
storm costs at the utility and merger expenses and higher interest expense
at Parent. Entergy ended the second quarter with about $700 million of cash
and cash equivalents. The lower cash balance as compared to previous periods
also reflects short-term debt payments made near the end of the second quarter.
The current level of cash along with the additional borrowing capacity
continues to offer significant financial flexibility to Entergy.

Cash return on average investment for the twelve months ended June 2001 grew
to 8.9 percent, an improvement of 11 percent compared to one year ago.
Return on average common equity improved by 22 percent over one year ago
rising to 11 percent reflecting Entergy's continued earnings growth. Net
margin decreased during the period as a result of substantially higher levels
of fuel revenue in second quarter 2001 for which there is no margin recovered
from customers. Net interest coverage ended the period nearly unchanged
versus second quarter 2000.

Earnings Review and Outlook

"Through the first half of 2001 our financial results remain very solid
reinforced by the performance of our nuclear and trading businesses," said
C. John Wilder, Entergy's chief financial officer. "These businesses have
tripled their contribution to operational earnings in just one year and
the utility continues to provide strong earnings and cash flow.  Our
financial metrics demonstrate another quarter of improvement in return on
equity and cash return on investment and our net interest coverage remains
quite good at 5.2 times. While we are disappointed with the year-to-date
earnings at EWO, we remain confident in our ability to meet previously
established earnings guidance in 2001 and beyond. Therefore, we are
reaffirming our current guidance at $3.00 to $3.20 per share for 2001,
and $3.30 to $3.50 for the year 2002, exclusive of the impact of weather
in both periods."

Entergy's 2001 earnings guidance, with 2000 operational results as its
starting point, is detailed in Table 11 below.  Key assumptions and changes
incorporated since guidance was last issued in April 2001 are as follows:

- - More than 75 percent of 2001 earnings are expected to come from the
  utility. Earnings guidance is based on existing rate plans and fuel
  recovery mechanisms. The utility's previous guidance range of $2.36 to
  $2.43 was updated to a new range of $2.36 to $2.39 to reflect the
  delay in the cessation of goodwill amortization.
- - Approximately 15 percent of earnings are expected from Entergy Nuclear
  where revenue streams are tied to purchase power agreements that cover
  100 percent of the megawatt hours generated. The previous guidance range
  of $0.35 to $0.38 was increased to $0.42 to $0.50 to reflect better than
  expected cost and outage performance experienced year to date, as well
  as higher output and improved cost performance projected for the remainder
  of the year. The current guidance range also assumes the acquisition of
  Indian Point 2 will occur in mid September.
- - Conservative assumptions, given year-to-date performance at Entergy-Koch,
  drive 2001 earnings guidance for the venture. The previous guidance range
  of $0.25 to $0.30 per share is increased to $0.34 to $0.39 per share
  to reflect better than expected year-to-date results and the expectation
  of moderate market volatility for the remainder of the year.
- - Continued weakness in U.K. power prices and the sale of the Saltend plant
  reduce earnings guidance at EWO from the previous range of $0.10 to $0.14
  to a loss in the range of $(0.08) to $(0.05).
- - Parent & Other guidance improves from the previous range of $(0.06) to
  $(0.05) to $(0.04) to $(0.03) to reflect higher cash balances due to the
  sale of Saltend and the delay in the Indian Point 2 closing.

Table 11 provides Entergy's projection of 2001 operational earnings per
share with 2000 operational results as its data starting point.

Entergy's 2002 earnings guidance is detailed in Table 13 below. Key assumptions
and changes incorporated since guidance was last issued in April 2001 are as
follows:

- - A little more than 70 percent of 2002 earnings are expected to come from
  the utility. Earnings guidance is based on existing rate plans and fuel
  recovery mechanisms.  The Utility's previous guidance range of $2.41 to
  $2.48 was increased to $2.48 to $2.51 to reflect modest operational
  improvements, and the full impact of the cessation of goodwill amortization.
- - Approximately 18 percent of earnings are expected from Entergy Nuclear
  where revenue streams are tied to power agreements that cover 100% of the
  megawatt hours generated. The previous guidance range of $0.55 to $0.58
  was increased to $0.56 to $0.64 to reflect continued operating improvements
  and higher output achieved across the nuclear fleet.
- - Entergy-Koch's 2002 earnings guidance assumes steady performance in both
  the trading and pipeline businesses. The previous guidance range of $0.30
  to $0.35 per share is increased to $0.34 to $0.39. Absent material changes
  in market conditions beyond 2002, Entergy anticipates these types of
  businesses will sustain earnings in this range or higher.
- - Continued weakness in U.K. power prices, offset to some extent by
  contributions from new projects available for a portion of 2002, reduces
  EWO's previous range of $0.16 to $0.20 to $(0.01) to $0.02.
- - Parent & Other's guidance improves from the previous range of $(0.12) to
  $(0.11) to the revised range of $(0.07) to $(0.06) to reflect lower levels
  of borrowings and related interest expense.

Table 13 provides Entergy's projection of 2002 operational earnings per share
with 2001 Guidance Range as its data starting point.
