		<description><![CDATA[With a view to recover the increasing cost of production and distribution of electricity, American Electric Power Co.&#8216;s (AEP) unit Appalachian Power filed four rate requests to the Virginia State Corporation Commission (SCC). The total impact of the proposed rate hike, if approved, will be 9.6%, translating to an annual increase of $115 million, and will be effective from 2012. The monthly bill of a residential consumer using 1,000 kilowatt-hours (Kwh) of electricity in a month will be $104.99 if the rates are approved by the commission without any alteration. American Electric Power&#8217;s unit rate proposal includes four parts. Most importantly it includes a base rate case, which proposes a hike of $75 million or a 6.3% increase.

		<description><![CDATA[Optimistic comments from the Federal Reserve on Tuesday helped instill some confidence in the economy and limited the markets from ending at session lows. Benchmarks inched down by a point as Japan’s nuclear crisis started taking its toll, raising concerns of a dip in the global economy. However, experts’ opinion of the Japan crisis being only a short-term drag for the US markets reduced investors’ anxiety to a certain extent. Separately, a state of emergency was declared in Bahrain. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) survived a 300 point plunge shortly after the market opened to end at 11.855.42, dropping 1.2% or 137 points. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) closed at 1,281.87 recovering from a 2.7% fall after the market opened and finally managed to shed 1.1%. The ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Consolidated Edison Inc. (ED) announced that it will issue 6.3 million shares on October 1, 2010. Con Edison expects to invest the net proceeds from the sale of the common shares in its regulated utility subsidiary, Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc., to fund its construction expenditures and other general corporate purposes. Historically, Consolidated Edison has funded a part of its capital programs through earnings dilutive stock issuances. As a result, its outstanding average common shares rose to 283.2 million at the end of the first half of 2010 from 236 million at year-end fiscal 2004. The trend is expected to continue in the future. However, we must keep in mind that Consolidated Edison is a high dividend-yield defensive stock. As such, the stock recently witnessed mostly lateral movement ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Entergy Corp. (ETR) has announced plans to shelve the long-in-the-making proposed separation of its non-utility nuclear generation and nuclear services companies. The decision was precipitated by the New York Public Service Commission’s (NYPSC) rejection of the spin-off request in end-March 2010. NYPSC is apprehensive of the financial health of the resultant company (Enexus Energy Corporation). Entergy has been contemplating the spin-off since fiscal 2007 to separate its regulated utilities and open-market generation units. Entergy is now focused on maximizing shareholder value through share repurchases and incremental dividend. Entergy will accelerate its ongoing $750 million share repurchase program. The company also raised its quarterly dividend, which has been stagnant over the past two fiscals (2008-09). Quarterly dividend was raised to 83 cents from 75 cents payable June 1, 2010 to stockholders ]]></description>

The New York Public Service Commission (NYPSC) played spoilsport and rejected the spin-off request. NYPSC is apprehensive of the financial health of the resultant company (Enexus Energy Corporation). Entergy has been contemplating the spin-off since fiscal 2007 to separate its regulated utilities and open-market generation units. The new company – Enexus Energy Corporation will take over nuclear plants located in Pilgrim in Plymouth, Massachusetts; Vermont Yankee in Vernon, Vermont; Indian Point in Westchester County, New York; Fitzpatrick in Oswego County, New York; and the Palisades plant in Covert, Michigan. New Orleans-based Entergy is primarily engaged in electric power production and retail distribution.

		<description><![CDATA[The final decision of Entergy Corporation’s (ETR) proposed spin-off of its non-utility Nuclear power business has been deferred until Mar 25, 2010. The New York Public Service Commission (NYPSC) played spoilsport, who is apprehensive of the financial health of the resultant company (Enexus Energy Corporation). Earlier, NYPSC expressed its apprehension that the long-term unsecured bonds worth $3.5 billion that Entergy plans to issue for the spin-off will drag down the bond rating of the new company, affecting its financial capacity. Entergy subsequently agreed to reduce the debt load of Enexus from $3.5 billion to $3 billion. The company also agreed to contribute up to $300 million to New York’s energy efficiency fund, if future power prices witness an upsurge. Entergy has been contemplating the spin-off since fiscal 2007 to separate ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Entergy Corporation (ETR) reported strong earnings per share (EPS) of $1.75 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, soundly beating both the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.64 and the year-ago quarterly EPS of 99 cents. The upside came from lower taxes and lower operational costs. Of the 15 analysts covering the stock, 7 have upped their estimates for fiscal 2010, along with two positive revisions over the last 7 days. Currently the Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2010 is $6.46, which is a tad lower than the fiscal 2009 EPS of $6.67. In fiscal 2008, Entergy registered an EPS of $6.51. Revenue in the reported quarter fell 16.7% to $2.5 billion from $3 billion in the year-ago quarter, with Electricity down 24.2% and Natural Gas down 19.8%, while Competitive Businesses was ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Entergy Corporation (ETR) indicated that it expects fourth quarter 2009 earnings to be approximately $1.63 per share and operational earnings approximately $1.74 per share compared to its results of $0.89 per share and operational results of $0.99 per share in fourth quarter 2008. The company will report on Feb 2, 2010. Entergy expects an increase in fourth quarter 2009 operational earnings year-over-year due primarily to better results at Utility, Parent &#38; Other segment, partially offset by lower earnings at Entergy Nuclear segment. Entergy’s optimism for higher Utility, Parent &#38; Other operational earnings in fourth quarter 2009 was due primarily to lower income tax expense, as well as lower non-fuel operation and maintenance expense primarily resulting from the absence of regulatory charges associated with rate proceedings at Entergy Arkansas, Inc. in ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Entergy Corporation (ETR) in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 reported EPS of $2.40 &#8212; a nickel below the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate of $2.45. Year-over-year EPS fell by a dime. The downside came from lower top line and higher expenses at its Utility, Parent &#38; Other segment. This was partially offset by higher revenues at its Nuclear segment due to lower planned and unplanned outages and higher other income. Utility, Parent &#38; Other segment reported earnings of $259.6 million, or $1.32 per share, compared to $286.0 million, or $1.47 per share, in the year-ago quarter. Earnings were affected by the absence of income tax expense associated with the liquidation of a subsidiary and higher operation and maintenance expense. Entergy Nuclear segment earned $210.7 million or $1.07 per share compared ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Entergy Corporation (ETR) earlier today announced that it expects GAAP earnings and operational earnings to be approximately $2.31 per share and $2.39 per share, respectively, in the third quarter of 2009. This is low compared to the year-ago GAAP numbers of $2.41 per share and operational results of $2.50 per share. The anticipated decrease in the quarter’s operational earnings is due primarily to lower results at the Utility, Parent and Other segment, partially offset by increased earnings at Non-nuclear Wholesale Assets segment. Utility, Parent &#38; Other is expected to clock lower year-over-year operational earnings in third quarter 2009, primarily due to the absence of the 2008 adjustment reducing income tax expense and higher operation and maintenance expense.
