'In the current uncertain climate, we have focused significant effort on positioning the company for long-term success while weathering the current economic storm,' said J. Wayne Leonard, Entergy's chairman and chief executive officer. 'While we cannot predict what will come next in these times, we will be relentless in seeking value and managing risk, and we are prepared to seize opportunities that add value for our stakeholders.'

Entergy is reaffirming 2009 earnings guidance, but indicated that should the current economic climate and power prices on Entergy Nuclear's open position persist for the balance of 2009, earnings could approach the lower end of the guidance ranges.
