Caveats onProposed Transmission Reliability Projects

• Cost estimates provided, in most circumstances, are planning-level estimates. In addition, these costs do not include overhead and tax gross-up, which could be as high as 70% of the costs cited.

• Siting of new generation and load growth could affect the timing and necessity of the proposed projects.

• Most of the proposed projects, which are subject to Jurisdictional review and approval, have not yet been budgeted. External considerations (i.e., out-of-cycle projects or budget adjustments during the year) could impact the proposed in-service dates.

Record System Peak: 22,052MW1

EAI 5,533MWwith AECC 6,865

EGSI 7,042MWELI 5,124MWEMI 3,130MWENOI 1,223MW

[1] This demand level is the all-time peak demand on the Entergy system less AECC, which occurred on 8-30-00. With AECC, the peak was 23,384MW.
