This page documents the Texas portion of Entergy Corporation’s multi-state operations. For the full corporate summary and plants in other states, see the Entergy Corporation manufacturer page.

Premises Description

Entergy Corporation (formed 1989 by consolidation of Middle South Utilities subsidiaries: Arkansas Power & Light, Louisiana Power & Light, Mississippi Power & Light, and New Orleans Public Service; expanded 1993 by acquisition of Gulf States Utilities; today headquartered New Orleans LA) and its predecessors operated through the 20th century the principal investor-owned electric utility network for the Mid-South region — Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and East Texas.

Major Entergy and predecessor asbestos-era operations included:

Arkansas (Arkansas Power & Light):

  • White Bluff Steam Electric Station (Redfield AR)
  • Independence Steam Electric Station (Independence County AR)
  • Arkansas Nuclear One (Russellville AR) — two-unit PWR
  • Lake Catherine Steam Plant (Hot Spring County AR)

Louisiana (Louisiana Power & Light / Gulf States Utilities):

  • Waterford 3 Nuclear Station (Killona LA)
  • River Bend Nuclear Generating Station (West Feliciana Parish LA) — Gulf States legacy
  • Sabine Power Plant (Bridge City TX) — Gulf States legacy
  • Nelson Industrial Steam Company (Westlake LA)
  • Willow Glen Steam Electric Station (St. Gabriel LA)

Mississippi (Mississippi Power & Light):

  • Grand Gulf Nuclear Station (Port Gibson MS) — single-unit BWR
  • Baxter Wilson Steam Electric Station (Vicksburg MS)

Texas (Gulf States Utilities):

Each operated continuously through the asbestos era with extensive asbestos-containing materials. The Gulf States Utilities legacy plants in particular sat in the OBLF/Provost & Umphrey TX-LA litigation corridor.

Plaintiffs alleged in publicly filed U.S. asbestos personal-injury and wrongful-death litigation that Entergy and its predecessors — as premises owners — exposed plant-operator workforce and contractor pipefitters, insulators, boilermakers, and trade workers to extensive asbestos.
