The company considers this to be a cost effective way to increase generation without building a new plant. Once the deal is finalized, Entergy Mississippi plans to invest in upgrading the acquired plants, taking the total cost of acquisition to $246 million. If approved by the regulatory authorities Entergy expects the deal to close in mid 2012. Also, Entergy Arkansas, a unit of Entergy, has signed an agreement to acquire a 620 MW natural gas-fired Hot Spring Energy Facility from a subsidiary of KGen Power Corporation for $253 million.

The company intends to utilize the proceeds to reimburse its previously incurred investment recovery costs. Entergy Corporation&#8217;s long-term debts as of March 31, 2011 were $11.6 billion, slightly exceeding debt levels as of December 31, 2010. Accordingly, the debt-to-capital ratio at the end of the first quarter 2011 was 57.6% versus 57.3% at the end of 2010. From time to time, Entergy has engaged in the issuing of debts to finance acquisitions and repay dues. In March 2011, Entergy Louisiana issued $200 million of 4.80% Series first mortgage bonds due May 2021 and utilized the proceeds, together with existing funds, to purchase Unit 2 of the Acadia ]]></description>

Entergy is planning to increase its generation capacity from the Ninemile plant to cater to the increasing demand for electricity in that region. Moreover, the technology used to create the gas turbine unit, Ninemile 6, will produce clean and reliable power. If approved by the commission the construction of this project will start in 2012 and the project is expected to cost $721 million. Ninemile 6 is scheduled to enter commercial production from mid-2015 and its will be sufficient to replace the loss of generation from Ninemile Units ]]></description>

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>

As the September rally has continued into October, it has pushed 37.4% of the stocks on the S&#38;P 500 to either new 52-week highs or within a fraction of that high. While it is an diverse group of companies, from food companies, to apparel, to integrated oil, to hotels that are hitting new highs, one group stood out from the pack: the utilities. Yes, the one area most investors consider dull and boring actually has been anything but that in recent months. 29 companies, or 15.5%, of those making new highs were in the utilities sector which includes Electric Power, Gas Distribution and the Telephone segment. Who Cares About the Utilities??? ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In June, total industrial production inched up by 0.1% from May and was up 8.2% from a year earlier. However, that is the output not just of the nation&#8217;s factories, but of its mines and utilities as well. Hotter-than-normal weather drove a big increase in utility output that distorted the figures. The output of the nation’s factories fell by 0.4% for the month, but is still 8.3% above year-ago levels. The total industrial production index has been up every month but one since last year. The 0.1% increase this month is a major slowdown from the 1.3% gain posted in May and is also below the 0.3% increase in April, and is the worst showing since the unchanged reading in February, which was at least partially due to the blizzards ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We continue to rate shares of The Southern Company (SO) a Neutral, and are maintaining our target price of $35. The Southern Company is the premier energy company serving the Southeast U.S. It remains a leader in power plant productivity, cost control (operating and construction), and technological innovation. Security at Southern comes with a regular dividend payment pattern and scope for capital appreciation. However, with more than 30% of the company’s total retail sales coming from industrial customers, a sluggish economy severely affects the fortunes of Southern, compared to other utilities that are less dependent on industry. This will continue to hamper the company’s results during the next few quarters, as industrial sales still remain weak. As such, we do not anticipate a significant upside in the near future and ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Electric utility firm Southern Co. (SO) reported modestly better-than-expected fourth quarter results, driven by lower expenses and increased monthly service charges. Earnings per share (excluding one-time items) came in at 31 cents, 5 cents above the prior-year period and a penny above the Zacks Consensus Estimate. However, revenue was down 7.7% year-over-year to $3.5 billion, as electricity sales continued to be hurt by the weak economy. Another Challenging Quarter It was another difficult quarter for Southern, as it continued to be adversely affected by the recession that had a significant impact on overall electricity sales and usage. This resulted in a decrease in electricity sales across most of the categories. Total electricity sales during the fourth quarter were down 4.1% from the same period last year. Total retail sales declined ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[American Electric Power Company Inc. (AEP) is set to receive $334 million from the U.S. Energy Department to develop a commercial scale project that will capture carbon from its Mountaineer coal fired plant in West Virginia and then inject the gases underground. The grant is part of the $979 million to be awarded by the U.S. Energy Department to three projects aimed at developing technology to trap and store carbon emissions from coal plants. The other two companies to receive grants are Southern Company Services Inc. (SO), and Summit Texas Clean Energy LLC. The money will go toward retrofitting existing coal-fired power plants owned by American Electric Power, Southern Co. and Summit Texas Clean Energy to capture and store carbon dioxide, the chief greenhouse gas linked to climate change.

		<description><![CDATA[Last week, Southern Power – a subsidiary of electric utility company Southern Co. (SO) – announced its decision to build one of the country’s largest biomass power plants in eastern Sacul, Texas. Construction of the 100-megawatt plant is slated to commence this fall, with commercial operation projected for the summer of 2012. As part of the project, Southern Power has agreed to acquire the Nacogdoches Power LLC biomass project from American Renewables LLC, a developer and operator of clean energy facilities utilizing biomass materials as fuels. The power plant’s output has already been committed through a 20-year power purchase agreement with Austin Energy, the municipal utility owned by and serving Austin, Texas. The plant, to be built over 165 acres, will use about 1 million tons of biomass materials (including ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Southern Co. (SO) yesterday said that it has agreed with a Chinese utility for the first commercial use of the firm’s proprietary new low-emission coal-based electricity production. The technology – known as the Transport Integrated Gasification (TRIG) – is an integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) technology that produces electricity with lower emissions than traditional coal power plants. It converts coal to synthetic gas, from which pollutants can be removed before being burned in a combustion turbine to produce electricity. The technology can also be used with lower grades of coals that are plentiful in China. TRIG has been developed at an Alabama research facility by Southern Co., in collaboration with KBR Inc. (KBR) and other partners, which include the U.S. Department of Energy. Per the terms of the agreement, the ]]></description>
