And yet, the season also gives us time to pause, to reflect on 12 months of achievements and challenges, and to plan for fresh beginnings in the spanking-new year.

As we reminisce about the highlights of��’24, it’s only fitting that we spotlight some of the best and brightest moments for Entergy’s nuclear fleet.

Let’s flip some calendar pages and name a few….

������March, Entergy Nuclear engineered��some exciting changes��in Port Gibson, Miss.! An all-woman group of managers led Grand Gulf Nuclear Station’s engineering team—an important first! Valerie Myers is plant support manager, Tori Robinson led the design projects team and Grace Settoon managed strategic and systems engineering. Since then, in recognition of their excellent work, Robinson accepted a position as design projects manager at the corporate office in Jackson, and Settoon was selected by site leadership to serve as a consultant at the��, headquartered in Atlanta.

������April, two-thirds of Arkansas fell inside the path of totality during the historic total eclipse, causing a very brief reduction in output at the solar energy stations. Yet, due to Entergy’s diverse energy portfolio—roughly����comes from nuclear—Entergy still kept the lights shining bright��for its customers!

������June,�����ɾ��ٳ������ٴ�����that promises some powerful benefits! The project could increase efficiencies, lower operational costs, prevent generation losses due to equipment failures and improve the predictability of plant operations. If proved successful, Entergy will employ the model at one of its stations and potentially expand to others.

������September, while the winds of Hurricane Francine howled, thanks to the diligent preparation, strong teamwork and safety-first mindset of Entergy’s nuclear professionals,��their plants stayed on the grid, producing round-the-clock power for its customers. Entergy’s communities are grateful for the strength and resilience not only of nuclear power—but also of the entire team at Arkansas Nuclear One in Russellville, Ark.; Grand Gulf Nuclear Station in Port Gibson, Miss.; River Bend Station in St. Francisville, La., and Waterford 3 Steam Electric Station in Killona, La.

Later in��September,��, a consortium of leading North American utilities that advise on the development and commercialization of����fluoride salt-cooled, high-temperature react�ǰ���. Entergy’s Chief Nuclear Officer Kimberly Cook-Nelson said of the alliance, “We believe advanced nuclear technologies will play an important role in decarbonizing the U.S. energy system, and we’re pleased to be in a position to help nurture the development of new resources like KP-FHR.”

������October, Cook-Nelson was named among the 2024����in the Profiles in Diversity Journal® magazine, which recognizes influential women who are using their talents to improve their workplace and our world. In its third-quarter issue, the journal featured Cook-Nelson’s reflections of her 28 years in the nuclear industry and her advice to never shy away from a challenge, shun the phrase “you can’t” and always remember: It’s about the people.

Also in��October, The��Entergy Charitable Foundation��awarded a����to help the HBCU establish a Critical Power Grid Network Security Lab. As an expansion of the university’s cybersecurity education curriculum, the lab will serve a twofold purpose: to offer students the necessary skills and resources to learn about the industry and to help grow a workforce to meet the needs of nuclear, electric and natural gas companies. Entergy and JSU have partnered before to create the��, another program in the��.

Later that month, Entergy’s nuclear fleet celebrated international��! The company is proud that its five reactors in four locations in Arkansas, Louisiana and Mississippi can cleanly power small towns, big cities and everywhere in between.�� By harnessing��100% clean nuclear power, Entergy is helping to meet the growing demands of the nation’s carbon-free energy needs.

������December, Entergy Nuclear topped off the year with the�����Ǵ���, Unit 1! Now, the two nuclear units at ANO generate not only a steady stream of clean, carbon-free energy but also significant positive impact in the River Valley. The station employs more than 1,000 full-time nuclear professionals who care deeply about their community. And just for good measure, let’s celebrate the contributions made by Entergy’s��entire��nuclear fleet! In 2024, all four nuclear stations—Arkansas Nuclear One, Grand Gulf, River Bend Station in St. Francisville, La. and Waterford 3 Steam Electric Station in Killona, La. — together with Entergy Nuclear headquarters in Jackson, Miss.,��awarded $155,805 in grants to benefit their surrounding communities.

Little Rock, Ark.– It’s the most wonderful time of the year, filled with cozy gatherings, cherished traditions, and festive decorations. Whether you plan to set up a sparkling outdoor display or create a warm atmosphere indoors, Entergy Arkansas encourages customers to keep safety top of mind this holiday season.

According to the National Fire Protection Association, U.S. fire departments respond to an estimated average of 835 home structure fires per year caused by decorations, excluding trees. These incidents result in an annual average of 3 civilian fire deaths, 30 civilian fire injuries and $14 million in direct property damage. Nearly 20% of these decoration-related fires are caused by lamps or bulbs, while candles account for 11%.

To help keep the holiday season safe and joyful, Entergy Arkansas encourages customers to keep the following tips in mind when decorating for celebrations:

Indoor lighting:

• Position your tree safely:��Place it in a stand with water and keep it away from heat sources like fireplaces. Check the water daily to prevent your tree from drying out.
• Inspect lights carefully:��Discard any strands with frayed cords or cracked bulbs to avoid shock hazards.
• Choose energy-efficient LED lights:��Cool-burning LED lights help you save on energy costs and stay safe.
• Avoid flammable decorations:��Don’t use candles on or near the tree and choose non-flammable decor.
• Turn off lights when unattended:��Always switch off lights when leaving the room or going to bed.

Outdoor lighting:

• Use outdoor-rated lights only:��These lights are made to withstand weather conditions and keep your home safe.
• Plug into GFCI outlets:��Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter outlets provide added protection from electrical shocks.
• Choose UL-listed lights:��UL labels ensure that your lights are tested for outdoor safety.
• Keep connections dry:��Use rubber gaskets to keep water out of sockets and keep lights off the ground by hanging them on stakes.
• Switch off outdoor lights when away:��Save energy and enhance safety by turning off outdoor lighting when you’re not home or are going to sleep.

1. Be smart about holiday lighting. New Orleans is known for its vibrant holiday displays, but you don’t have to dim your festive spirit to save energy:

• : They use up to 80% less energy than traditional incandescent bulbs and last much longer.
• Use timers: Set your lights to turn on at dusk and off before bed to avoid running them all night.
• Unplug when not home: Ensure holiday lights and decorations are unplugged when you’re not around.

2. Efficiently heat your home. While winters in New Orleans are mild, occasional cold snaps can lead to higher heating bills. Stay warm without wasting energy:

• : Use weatherstripping around doors and windows to keep warm air in and cold air out.
• Use ceiling fans: Set them to rotate clockwise at a low speed to push warm air back down into the room.
• Skip turning up the heat during gatherings: More people mean less heating is needed. The added body heat from guests often keeps the space warm enough.

3. Cook smart in the kitchen. Holiday feasts are a staple, but ovens and stovetops can drive up energy usage. Cook efficiently with these tips:

• Cook multiple dishes at once: Use the same temperature, and keep the oven door closed.
• Keep lids on pots and pans: Covering your cookware helps cook food faster and saves energy.
• Use microwaves: Microwaves use less energy than ovens, making them ideal for reheating or cooking small portions.

Every kilowatt-hour you save during the holidays is money you can put toward what truly matters—whether it’s a special gift for a loved one, a donation to a favorite cause, or creating memories with family and friends. By making small adjustments, you can enjoy a season that’s both joyful and budget-friendly.

According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s , El Nino will remain in place across the winter season for the first time in four years. The expected results will be wetter and cooler winter months this year, bringing much-needed drought relief to our service area. Temperatures overall are expected to be a few degrees cooler this winter.�� ��

We’ve learned to be ready for anything

The past two years have seen major winter weather events in February and December of 2022 and January and February 2023, with parts of our service area experiencing winter storms that brought high winds, freezing rains and ice accumulation. The winter season of 2021 saw in more than 30 years.

While weather can be unpredictable, we remain storm ready no matter the season. And we’ve taken measures in advance to ensure we’re winter-ready:

Unique readiness plans in place for each power plant

• Performing early fall season assessments to identify and correct winterization deficiencies on sensitive plant equipment.
• Insulating critical equipment using improved methods and materials that allow them to withstand lower temperatures.
• Insulating or draining piping with potential for standing water during normal operation, to prevent freezing and breaks.
• Designing and building permanent windbreaks or enclosures to protect critical equipment and instrumentation.
• Exploring the use of wireless instrument line monitoring systems to monitor temperatures of critical equipment.
• Hosting winter season lessons learned across our system – including the sharing of operational experiences across power plants with similar technologies.��

Measures taken with transmission lines, facilities

• Inspecting and maintaining substations and transmission lines that are critical to Bulk Electric System reliability.
• Performing substation inspections in accordance with transmission management procedures.
• Identifying any potential equipment performance issues.
• Testing infrequently used generating units, including the startup of emergency generators, where applicable, and checking freeze protection equipment.��

Critical systems and infrastructure prepared across the grid

• Inspecting and testing equipment that can be impacted by extreme cold such as gas-filled circuit breakers.
• Ensuring the readiness of assets that provide electric service to critical gas infrastructure and other points of delivery that are vital to support generation reliability and resiliency.��

We’re storm ready, 365 days a year

When a weather threat arises, we ramp up support:

• We use forecasts and computer models based on experience with previous storms to predict an estimated number and duration of outages that could possibly occur.
• Based on those estimates, the company calls on restoration workers from around the country to restore power as safely and quickly as possible for our customers.
• Entergy continuously plans and improves the process of assessing damage, positioning personnel in the right place with the required materials to restore power as safely and quickly as possible.
• We take steps to maintain and control vegetation across our service area, completing annual clearing of right-of-way areas to minimize the impact from fallen trees or branches following a storm.
• Prior to storms impacting our area, vegetation crews perform pre-storm patrols of circuits to mitigate any imminent threats within the right of way.
• Our year-round storm preparations include the vegetation management program and the targeted “ground to sky” vegetation trimming, which removes tree limbs that would normally have been above the power line.
• We also use artificial intelligence and satellite imagery to help predict when trimming may be needed.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – Decorating your home with festive lights is a great way to celebrate the holiday season. Whether you’re a pro or a novice when it comes to putting up decorations, it’s important to understand the risks of hanging lights.

According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), Christmas lights alarmingly cause 40% of Christmas tree fires. NFPA also reports that each year, U.S. fire departments respond to an average of 790 home structure fires caused by seasonal decorations. Without proper preparation and installation, a fun, holiday activity can turn tragic. Keep your holiday season merry and free of injuries by following these safety tips from Entergy Arkansas.

Inside lighting:

• If your family plans to have a live Christmas tree this holiday season, make sure it is fresh with needles that are hard to pull from the branches.
• Place the live tree in a stand with water away from heaters or the fireplace. Be sure to check on the water daily.
• Examine all lights before putting them on the tree or using them for other holiday displays. Do not use lights with frayed wiring or loose sockets, and make sure they have been tested for safety by an independent testing laboratory.
• Save energy and money on your bill by using smaller, cool-burning LED lights.
• Make sure all light sockets have bulbs in them and keep bulbs from touching tree branches.
• Never burn candles on or near the tree and never use flammable decorations.
• Never use lights on a metallic tree. If the lights become faulty, the entire tree could be electrified.
• Be careful not to overload extension cords, outlets or even whole circuits in the house.
• Turn off decorative lighting when you leave the room.
• Place wires where they cannot trip anyone, and do not run wires under rugs.

Outside lighting:

• Make sure the lights being used are designated for outdoor use.
• Use a non-conducting fiberglass or wooden ladder when working with strings of lights. Be sure to stay clear of all overhead wires.
• Do not replace bulbs when the electricity is on.
• Never let light bulbs touch flammable materials such as plastic or dry grass and leaves.
• For outside use, work only with three-wire grounded extension cords.
• Use rubber gaskets in light sockets or hang sockets downward to keep water out.
• Keep connections and lights off the ground by hanging them over wooden stakes. Turn outside holiday lights off when away from home or asleep.
