Entergy Transmission Proposed Transmission Reliability Projects Entergy Transmission Planning Summit New Orleans, LA July 8, 2004 1

Topics • • 2005 – 2006 Transmission Reliability Projects 2006 – 2008 Transmission Expansion Projects 2009+ Transmission Target Areas 2005 Transmission Infrastructure Projects (Asset Management) 2

Caveats on Proposed 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. 3
