                   Report of Independent Accountants




To the Trustee and Participants of the
Savings Plan of Entergy Corporation and Subsidiaries

In  our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available
for  benefits  and the related statement of changes  in  net  assets
available for benefits present fairly, in all material respects, the
net  assets  available for benefits of the Savings Plan  of  Entergy
Corporation and Subsidiaries (the "Plan") at December 31,  2000  and
1999,  and the changes in net assets available for benefits for  the
year   ended   December  31,  2000  in  conformity  with  accounting
principles  generally  accepted in the  United  States  of  America.
These  financial  statements are the responsibility  of  the  Plan's
management;  our  responsibility is to express an opinion  on  these
financial  statements based on our audits.  We conducted our  audits
of  these statements in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America, which require that we plan
and  perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about  whether
the  financial  statements  are free of material  misstatement.   An
audit  includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting  the
amounts  and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing  the
accounting  principles  used  and  significant  estimates  made   by
management,   and   evaluating  the  overall   financial   statement
presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

Our  audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion  on
the  basic  financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental
Schedule  of Assets (Held at End of Year) and Schedule of Reportable
Transactions for the Year Ended December 31, 2000 are presented  for
the  purpose of additional analysis and are not a required  part  of
the  basic  financial  statements but are supplementary  information
required  by  the  Department of Labor's Rules and  Regulations  for
Reporting  and  Disclosure  under  the  Employee  Retirement  Income
Security  Act  of  1974.   These  supplemental  schedules  are   the
responsibility of the Plan's management.  The supplemental schedules
have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits
of  the  basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are  fairly
stated  in  all material respects in relation to the basic financial
statements taken as a whole.

        SAVINGS PLAN OF ENTERGY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

                   Notes to Financial Statements


Note 1.  General Description of the Plan

The   following  description  of  the  Savings  Plan   of   Entergy
Corporation and Subsidiaries (Entergy Savings Plan) is provided for
general information only.  Entergy Savings Plan participants should
refer  to the Entergy Savings Plan summary plan description  for  a
more complete description of the Entergy Savings Plan's provisions.

General:   The Entergy Savings Plan is a defined contribution  plan
of  Entergy Corporation and Subsidiaries, collectively the  Entergy
System  Companies,  subject  to  the  provisions  of  the  Employee
Retirement  Income Security Act of 1974, as amended  (ERISA).   The
ERISA  provisions  set  forth the requirements  for  participation,
vesting  of  benefits,  fiduciary  conduct  for  administering  and
handling  of  assets,  and  disclosure  of  Entergy  Savings   Plan
information.

The  Entergy Savings Plan constitutes two types of plans  qualified
under Internal Revenue Code Section 401 as follows:

     o A profit sharing plan; and
     o A  stock bonus plan which constitutes an Employee  Stock
       Ownership Plan (ESOP).

Plan  Amendments  in 2000:  The Entergy Savings  Plan  was  amended
effective   November   21,  2000  to  include  certain   provisions
applicable  to  "NY Employees."  Generally, "NY Employees"  include
employees transferred from the Power Authority of the State of  New
York  (NYPA)  to an Entergy System Company, or employees  hired  by
Entergy  Nuclear Operations, Inc. (ENUC) after November  21,  2000,
whose  work  location  is either the James A.  Fitzpatrick  Nuclear
Power  Station,  the  Indian  Point 3  Nuclear  Power  Station,  or
Entergy's  White Plains, New York office that provides professional
support to those plants.

The  Entergy Savings Plan was amended effective January 1, 2001  to
adopt  certain  benefit enhancements.  These  amendments  apply  to
eligible  employees  who  are employed by a  participating  Entergy
System Company on or after January 1, 2001. These amendments do not
apply  to  NY  Employees  or bargaining employees  located  at  the
Pilgrim Steam Electric Generating Station.

The  Entergy Savings Plan was amended effective September 19,  2000
to  include  a special eligibility provision applicable  to  former
employees of TLG Services, Inc., who became employees of an Entergy
System Company on September 19, 2000.

The  significant changes to the Entergy Savings Plan resulting from
these amendments are described throughout this note.

Trustee:   The  Entergy Savings Plan utilizes T. Rowe  Price  Trust
Company  as its trustee and T. Rowe Price Retirement Plan Services,
Inc.  as  its  recordkeeper and provider  of  other  administrative
services.   Except  for  NY Employees, the Entergy  Savings  Plan's
investments, which are managed by its trustee or affiliates of  its
trustee, are:

     o Entergy Stock Fund
     o Stable Income Fund
     o Balanced Fund
     o Equity Income Fund
     o Equity Index Trust
     o Blue Chip Growth Fund
     o New Horizons Fund
     o New Income Fund
     o International Stock Fund
     o Participants' Loans
     o Tradelink Participant-Directed Brokerage Accounts

Eligibility:   Effective January 1, 2001, the Entergy Savings  Plan
is  available to participating Entergy System Company employees  on
the  first  day  of  the  calendar month following  the  employee's
employment commencement date, except that employees who begin  work
on  the  first day of a month are eligible on that day.   Prior  to
2001,  participants  were required to satisfy a  six-month  service
requirement.

Contributions:  Entergy Savings Plan contributions made  by  or  on
behalf   of   participants   are  deposited   with   the   trustee.
Participants  may elect to contribute, through payroll  deductions,
up  to  a total of 6% of their annual base salary (basic) for which
the   employing   Entergy  System  Company   will   make   matching
contributions.  Prior to January 1, 2001, participants  could  make
additional contributions up to a total of 10% of their annual  base
salary   (supplemental)   for  which   there   were   no   matching
contributions.    Beginning   in  2001,   participants   may   make
supplemental  contributions up to 13% of their annual base  salary.
Basic  and  supplemental contributions may be made on a  before-tax
basis  (401(k) contributions), an after-tax basis, or a combination
of  both.   Contributions are limited by federal  tax  legislation.
The 401(k) contribution dollar limit for the calendar year 2000 was
$10,500 per participant.

Effective  January 1, 2001, the employing Entergy System  Company's
matching contribution to the Entergy Savings Plan on behalf of  the
participant   will   be  determined  based  on  the   participant's
investment   election.   If  a  participant's   employer   matching
investment election is directed entirely to the Entergy Stock Fund,
the  employing Entergy System Company's matching contribution  will
be  equal to 75% of the participant's basic contribution.  Employer
matching  contributions not directed entirely to the Entergy  Stock
Fund  will  receive  matching contributions equal  to  50%  of  the
participant's basic contribution.  Matching contributions  made  by
the  employing Entergy System Company prior to January 1, 2001 were
equal to 50% of the participant's basic contribution.

The  Entergy  Savings  Plan provides that certain  taxable  amounts
received  by  an employee that originated from an employee  benefit
plan qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986,  as  amended  (the Code), may be accepted under  the  Entergy
Savings Plan as rollover contributions (rollover contributions).

Investments:  Participant contributions are invested as directed by
participants   in  accordance  with  the  Entergy  Savings   Plan's
investment  options.   Earnings  on participant  contributions  are
allocated based on participants' account balances.

Effective   January   1,  2001,  50%  matching   contributions   on
participant-elected  contributions  are  invested  as  directed  by
participants   in  accordance  with  the  Entergy  Savings   Plan's
investment  options and 75% matching contributions on  participant-
elected  deferrals  are  invested in the  non-participant  directed
Entergy  Stock Fund.  Prior to January 2001, matching contributions
based on participant-elected deferrals were invested by the Trustee
in  the  non-participant directed Entergy  Stock  Fund.   Effective
January  1,  2001,  participants can transfer a  portion  of  their
matching  contributions  invested in the Entergy  Stock  Fund  into
other Entergy Savings Plan investment funds if they are at least 50
years  of  age  and have 10 years of participation in  the  Entergy
Savings  Plan.  Years of participation in the Gulf States Utilities
Company  Employee's  Thrift Plan, which  merged  into  the  Entergy
Savings  Plan  in  1997,  also count for  this  purpose.   The  age
requirement prior to January 1, 2001 was 55 years of age.

The  value  of  investments may fluctuate with  changes  in  market
conditions.   The  amount  of  risk  varies  based  on  the  fund's
investment goals and composition.  Participants should realize  the
risk associated with each investment when determining how to invest
their contributions.

Participant accounts:  Each participant's account is credited  with
the participant's contribution and allocation of the Entergy System
Companies'  matching contribution and net earnings of  the  Entergy
Savings  Plan.   Allocations are based on participant  earnings  or
account balances, as defined.

Vesting:   Amounts  contributed  by  participants  to  the  Entergy
Savings  Plan are fully vested at all times.  Effective January  1,
2001, participants who are employed on or after January 1, 2001  by
an  Entergy System Company are fully vested in the company matching
account  at  all  times.   Prior to January 1,  2001,  participants
became fully vested in the company matching account upon completion
of  five  years of service except for certain Entergy Gulf  States'
employees  who  were immediately vested in past and future  company
matching contributions.

In-Service  withdrawals:  While employed,  participants  may,  with
certain  restrictions, withdraw all or a portion of  the  value  of
their basic and supplemental contributions, rollover contributions,
and  System  Individual Retirement Accounts.  Such withdrawals  may
include  all  or  a  portion  of  the  value  of  their  basic  and
supplemental  before-tax accounts if the participant  has  attained
age  59-1/2. Withdrawals of before-tax contributions may be subject
to  a 10% premature distribution tax unless the participant is  age
59-1/2  or  older.   A participant may also apply  for  a  hardship
withdrawal   from  his  401(k)  contributions  if  the  participant
satisfies certain financial hardship withdrawal criteria.

A  dividend  pass  through feature under the Entergy  Savings  Plan
allows  eligible participants to either receive a cash distribution
of  their  ESOP  Entergy  Stock  Fund  dividends  or  reinvest  the
dividends  in  the ESOP Entergy Stock Fund.  Eligible  participants
include  all participants who are fully vested in their balance  in
the  non-participant directed ESOP Entergy Stock  Fund.   Effective
January 1, 2001, cash dividends on Entergy Corporation common stock
attributable to employer matching contributions made at the rate of
75%  of  the participant's basic contribution will be paid  to  the
employee in cash.

Effective January 1, 2001, employed participants may, with  certain
restrictions, transfer from the ESOP Entergy Stock Fund  a  portion
of  the  amount credited to their ESOP accounts to other investment
funds  (or withdraw such amount, in the case of certain Tax  Credit
ESOP  accounts) after the participant completes an 84-month holding
period  or  after the participant reaches age 50 and  completes  10
years  of  plan participation.  Prior to January 1, 2001,  the  age
requirement  for  withdrawals was 55.   The  amount  of  in-service
withdrawal is limited by provisions of the Code applicable  to  the
ESOP and may be subject to an additional 10% premature distribution
tax  unless  the participant is age 59-1/2 or older.    Withdrawals
from  the ESOP accounts are in the form of stock certificates, plus
cash for the value of any fractional share.

Loans  to  participants:   The Entergy  Savings  Plan  has  a  loan
provision whereby participants who are actively employed may borrow
an amount from their eligible account up to a maximum of 50% of the
vested balance of their account or $50,000, whichever is less.  The
amount borrowed is deducted from the participant's eligible account
and  repaid  with  interest based on the  prime  rate  plus  1%  in
accordance with an established schedule.  The loan must  be  repaid
within  4-1/2  years  or  20 years if for the  acquisition  of  the
participant's  primary  residence.   If  a  participant   with   an
outstanding  loan  separates from service, the remaining  principal
balance  of  the loan is treated as a taxable distribution  to  the
participant unless the amount is repaid in full within a  specified
period from the date of separation.

Payment  of  Benefits:  Participants become eligible to  receive  a
single-sum  distribution  of  the  entire  vested  value   of   the
participant's  Entergy Savings Plan accounts  upon  termination  of
employment,  retirement, disability, or death.  There  are  certain
provisions   regarding   deferral  of  distributions;   installment
distributions for terminated participants, retirees,  and  disabled
participants;    minimum    account   balances;    and    mandatory
distributions.

Generally,  there are tax consequences associated with receiving  a
distribution  from  the Entergy Savings Plan,  unless  the  taxable
portion  is  rolled  over to an individual  retirement  account  or
another  retirement  plan  account which qualifies  under  Internal
Revenue Code Sections 408(a) or 401(a). Additionally, a 10% penalty
tax  for  early  withdrawal  applies, unless  the  distribution  is
received after age 59-1/2 or the participant satisfies one  of  the
legal exemptions to such tax.

Inactive  accounts:  Participants are allowed, under the provisions
of  the  Entergy  Savings Plan, to defer receipt  of  their  vested
account balance upon separation from the Entergy Savings Plan until
age   70-1/2.   The  amount  allocated  to  such  participants  was
$214,295,647 at December 31, 2000.

Forfeitures:  Upon termination of employment for reasons other than
retirement,  disability, or death, the portion  of  the  employee's
account  in  which he/she is not vested at the time of  termination
shall  be forfeited and credited to a forfeiture account.   Amounts
forfeited  for  the  year ended December 31,  2000  were  $454,132.
Forfeitures are used first to pay administrative expenses  and  the
residual to reduce employer contributions.

NY  Employees:   The  Entergy Savings Plan  was  amended  effective
November 21, 2000 for NY employees in the following respects.

   Eligibility:  NY employees become eligible to participate in the
Entergy  Savings  Plan  upon commencement  of  employment  with  an
Entergy System Company.

   Contributions:  Entergy Savings Plan contributions made by or on
behalf  of  NY  employees  are deposited with  the  trustee.   Non-
bargaining  NY  Employees may elect to contribute, through  payroll
deductions,  up  to  a  total of 6% of  their  annual  base  salary
(basic).   The employing Entergy System Company will make  matching
contributions  to  the  Entergy  Savings  Plan  on  behalf  of  the
participant  in  an amount equal to 50% of the participant's  basic
contribution.  Participants may make additional contributions up to
a  total of 9% of their annual base salary (supplemental) for which
there  are  no  matching  contributions.   Basic  and  supplemental
contributions   may   be  made  on  a  before-tax   basis   (401(k)
contributions),  an  after-tax basis, or  a  combination  of  both.
Contributions are limited by federal tax legislation.   The  401(k)
contribution  dollar limit for the calendar year 2000  was  $10,500
per participant.

    Bargaining  NY  Employees may only contribute  to  the  Entergy
Savings  Plan on a before-tax basis.  These contributions  may  not
exceed: (1) 25% of earnings if the employee is credited with ten or
more  years  of  benefit  service or does not  participate  in  the
Entergy Corporation Retirement Plan III; or (2) 22% of earnings  if
the  employee  is  credited with less than  ten  years  of  benefit
service and participates in the Entergy Corporation Retirement Plan
III.   Bargaining  NY  Employees  are  not  eligible  for  employer
matching contributions.

   Investments:   Matching contributions made  on  behalf  of  non-
bargaining NY Employees, based on their elected contributions,  are
invested  by  the  trustee in the non-participant directed  Entergy
Stock Fund.  Participant contributions are invested as directed  by
participants  in  accordance  with  the  investment  options   made
available  to  non-bargaining  and bargaining  NY  Employees.   The
following  table represents the Entergy Savings Plan's  investments
available  to  non-bargaining  NY  Employees  (which  includes  any
amounts  transferred from the NYPA Savings Plan for  bargaining  NY
Employees) and to bargaining NY Employees, which are managed by its
trustee  or  affiliates of its trustee.  These  investment  options
will  be  made available until at least November 21, 2001,  to  the
extent available, under the Entergy Savings Plan.

 1  Available to bargaining NY Employees only
 2  Available to non-bargaining NY Employees only

    Participant accounts:  Transferred NY Employees' before-tax and
after-tax accounts under the NYPA Savings Plan were transferred  to
the Entergy Savings Plan by direct trust-to-trust transfer.

   Vesting:  Transferred NY Employees are fully vested at all times
in  the  accounts  transferred to the Entergy Savings  Plan.   Non-
bargaining  NY  Employees  become  fully  vested  in  the  employer
matching  account upon completion of five years of service.   Years
of  participation under the NYPA Savings Plan also count  for  this
purpose.

     In-Service   withdrawals:    Special   in-service   withdrawal
provisions apply to non-bargaining NY Employees and to that portion
of  a  bargaining NY Employee's accounts transferred from the  NYPA
Savings  Plan.  Under these provisions, the NY Employee  may,  with
certain  restrictions, withdraw all or a portion of  the  value  of
their after-tax contributions and any vested portion of their  NYPA
Company account.  NY Employees described in this paragraph who have
attained  age  59-1/2 may, without penalty and subject  to  certain
restrictions,  withdraw  all or a portion of  their  NYPA  Company,
Deferral,   Qualified  Non-Elective,  Rollover,  and  Discretionary
Employer  Contribution  accounts.  A  separate  financial  hardship
withdrawal provision also applies.

    Loans  to  participants:   Certain  provisions  apply  to  non-
bargaining  NY  Employees  under  the  Entergy  Savings  Plan  loan
program.    Non-bargaining  NY  Employees  may   have   two   loans
outstanding at any time.  In addition, the loan repayment period is
subject  to a 30-year maximum for a participant's primary residence
loan, and a 5-year maximum for all other loans. The amount borrowed
is deducted from the participant's eligible account and repaid with
interest  based  on  the prime rate plus 1% in accordance  with  an
established schedule.  Bargaining NY Employee participants are  not
eligible for new loans under the Entergy Savings Plan.

    Payment of benefits:  Transferred NY employees shall be paid in
the form of cash for that portion of their Company account that was
transferred  from  the  NYPA  Savings  Plan  upon  termination   of
employment,  retirement, disability, or death.  There  are  certain
provisions applicable to non-bargaining and bargaining NY Employees
that  are carried over from the NYPA Savings Plan and the  NYPA  DC
Plan,  respectively, regarding the timing and form  of  payment  of
benefits.


Note 2.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of presentation:  The accompanying financial statements  have
been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.

Use  of estimates in the preparation of financial statements:   The
preparation  of  the Entergy Savings Plan financial statements,  in
conformity  with  accounting principles generally accepted  in  the
United   States,   requires  management  to  make   estimates   and
assumptions that affect reported amounts in the Statements  of  Net
Assets  Available for Benefits and the Statement of Changes in  Net
Assets  Available for Benefits, such as those regarding fair value.
Adjustments to the reported amounts may be necessary in the  future
to the extent that future estimates or actual results are different
from the estimates used in the financial statements.

Investment  valuation:   Cash and temporary  cash  investments  and
loans  to participants are valued at cost, which approximates  fair
value.   Investments  in  equity and fixed  income  securities  are
stated at their fair value as determined by quoted market prices on
the  valuation  date,  in compliance with the Department  of  Labor
Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under ERISA.

The  values of guaranteed investment contracts (GICs) are  recorded
at  contract value, which approximates fair market value.  Contract
value  represents  amounts invested under the GICs,  plus  interest
earned  and reinvested through the valuation date at the contracted
rate.   The  values  of synthetic investment contracts  (SICs)  are
recorded  at contract value, which approximates fair market  value,
because  participants  are guaranteed a  return  of  principal  and
accrued interest.  SICs are similar to GICs except that the  assets
of  a  SIC  are  placed in a trust with ownership  by  the  Entergy
Savings  Plan  and a financially responsible third party  issues  a
wrapper  contract.  A wrapper contract is an insurance policy  that
guarantees a stated rate of return on specific Entergy Savings Plan
assets placed in the trust.

Payment  of  benefits:   Benefits  payable  for  terminations   and
withdrawals are recorded when paid.  This accounting method differs
from  that  required in the Internal Revenue Service and Department
of  Labor Form 5500, which requires benefits payable to be  accrued
and charged to net assets in the period the liability arises.

Income  recognition:  The difference in fair value from one  period
to  the  next  is  recognized  and included  in  net  realized  and
unrealized   appreciation  of  investments  in   the   accompanying
Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits.  The net
appreciation also includes realized gains and losses.

Purchases and sales of securities are accounted for on a trade-date
basis.    Interest  income  is  recorded  on  the  accrual   basis.
Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Administrative  expenses:  All costs and expenses of  administering
the  Entergy Savings Plan, except expenses incurred in  the  direct
acquisition  or disposition of stock and investment  manager  fees,
are paid first by forfeitures and then by Entergy Corporation.

Concentration of credit risk:  The Entergy Savings Plan invests  in
GICs and SICs which are subject to credit risk with respect to  the
insurance companies that back them.  The potential credit  risk  of
the  GICs  as  of December 31, 2000 is $18,276,970.  The  potential
credit  risk  for  the  SICs represents the  amount  by  which  the
contract  value  exceeds the fair value of the SIC  assets  in  the
trust.   As  of December 31, 2000, the contract value  of  the  SIC
assets was $183,710,228.  The fair value of the SIC assets exceeded
the contract value by $56,434.  The Entergy Savings Plan provisions
set  investment  guidelines addressing investment  diversification,
quality,  maturity and performance standards prescribed to mitigate
the potential credit risk.

New  accounting pronouncements: In June 1998, the FASB issued  SFAS
133,   "Accounting   for   Derivative   Instruments   and   Hedging
Activities," which was implemented effective January 1, 2001.  This
statement  requires  that  all derivatives  be  recognized  in  the
balance  sheet, either as assets or liabilities, measured  at  fair
value.   The Entergy Savings Plan currently holds only one type  of
instrument that may be affected by SFAS 133, the SICs.  The Entergy
Savings  Plan did not apply SFAS 133 to the SICs as of  January  1,
2001  because  of  an  inconsistency between  SFAS  133  and  other
accounting  literature.  The AICPA Audit and  Accounting  Guide  on
"Audits of Employee Benefit Plans" and Statement of Position  94-4,
"Reporting  of  Investment Contracts Held  by  Health  and  Welfare
Benefit  Plans  and  Defined-Contribution Pension  Plans,"  require
measurement  of benefit responsive investment contracts,  including
SICs,  at  contract value.  Management believes that  the  contract
value  of  the SICs approximates their fair value, and the  Entergy
Savings Plan will continue to measure SICs at contract value unless
resolution of the discrepancy requires a different treatment.


Note 3.  Investment Contracts With Insurance Companies

The  Stable Income Fund of the Entergy Savings Plan invests  in  a
diversified  portfolio  of  GICs  and  SICs  issued  by  insurance
companies and other financial institutions.  The average yield for
the  Stable Income Fund was approximately 6.5% for 2000  and  6.0%
for  1999.   The crediting interest rates varied from  6.06%-6.60%
for 2000 and 1999.


Note 4.  Investments

The following represents investments in excess of 5% of the current
value of net assets available for benefits as of December 31,  2000
and 1999:

      Annuity Company SIC Assets              $ 90,189,695  $ 93,374,980

    * As  of  December 31, 2000,  $532,441,519  of  the  Entergy
      Corporation  common  stock and as of  December  31,  1999,
      $322,856,754 of the Entergy Corporation common  stock  was
      non-participant directed.

During  2000,  the  Entergy Savings Plan's  investments  (including
gains  and losses on investments bought and sold, as well  as  held
during the year) appreciated in value by $221,407,506 as follows:

       Entergy Corporation common stock   $255,060,999
       Mutual funds                       $(34,163,904)
       Common trust funds                 $(11,238,926)
       Synthetic investment contracts     $ 14,030,356
       Brokerage accounts                 $ (2,281,019)

Non-bargaining  NY  employees' before-tax  and  after-tax  accounts
under the NYPA Savings Plan were transferred to the Entergy Savings
Plan  effective November 21, 2000 and received in January  2001.
Therefore, the  plans  and  loans  transferred  are reflected  in
the  Statement of Net Assets and  the  Statement  of Changes in Net
Assets for the year ending December 31, 2000.


Note 5.  Tax Status

Entergy  Savings Plan obtained its latest determination  letter  on
March  26, 1997, in which the Internal Revenue Service stated  that
the  Entergy Savings Plan, as then designed, was in compliance with
the  applicable requirements of the Code.  The Entergy Savings Plan
has   been  amended  since  receiving  the  determination   letter.
However, the plan administrator and the plan's tax counsel  believe
that  the  Entergy  Savings Plan is currently  designed  and  being
operated  in  compliance with the applicable  requirements  of  the
Code.  Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been included
in the Entergy Savings Plan's financial statements.


Note 6.  Entergy Savings Plan Termination

Although  it  has  not expressed any intent to do so,  the  Entergy
System  Companies have the right under the Entergy Savings Plan  to
discontinue their contributions at any time and Entergy Corporation
has  the right to terminate the Entergy Savings Plan subject to the
provisions of ERISA.  In the event that the Entergy Savings Plan is
terminated,  subject to conditions set forth in ERISA, the  Entergy
Savings  Plan  provides that all participants will be fully  vested
and  the  net assets of the Entergy Savings Plan be distributed  to
participants in proportion to their respective vested interests  in
such net assets at that date.


Note 7.  Related Party Transactions

Certain of the Entergy Savings Plan investments are shares in funds
managed  by  T.  Rowe Price Trust Company who is  the  trustee,  as
defined   by  the  Entergy  Savings  Plan  and,  therefore,   these
investments  and  investment  transactions  qualify  as   party-in-
interest  transactions.  As the Entergy Savings Plan  holds  common
stock  of  Entergy Corporation as an investment, these  investments
and  investment  transactions  also  qualify  as  party-in-interest
transactions.   The  year-end market price of  Entergy  Corporation
common  stock was $42.31 and $25.75 at December 31, 2000 and  1999,
respectively.


Note 8.  Reconciliation to Form 5500

As  of  December  31, 2000 and 1999, the Entergy Savings  Plan  had
approximately  $687,782  and  $286,795,  respectively,  of  pending
distributions  to  participants who elected to  withdraw  from  the
Entergy Savings Plan.  These amounts are recorded as a liability in
the  Entergy  Savings Plan's Form 5500; however, these amounts  are
not  recorded as a liability in the accompanying statements of  net
assets available for benefits in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles.

The  following reconciles the financial statements to  the  Entergy
Savings  Plan Form 5500 for the plan year ended December  31,  2000
and 1999:
