Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

Members of Entergy Corporation's management will attend and participate in meetings of the 44th Edison Electric Institute Financial Conference (the "EEI Conference") on November 1-3, 2009. A copy of discussion materials that will be used at the EEI Conference is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K and is incorporated herein.

On October 30, 2009, Entergy issued two press releases (the "Releases") announcing that its Board of Directors has authorized a stock repurchase program to purchase up to $750,000,000 of its Common Stock. The purchases may be made from time-to-time in open market or in privately negotiated transactions or a combination of the two methods, depending on market and business conditions.

In addition, the Releases issued 2010 earnings guidance for Entergy assuming business as usual for the full year, financial outlooks for Entergy and Enexus after the pending separation of Entergy's non-utility nuclear business and a preliminary three-year capital expenditure plan for 2010-2012. The Releases are attached as Exhibit 99.2 and 99.3 to this Form 8-K and are incorporated herein.

The information in this Form 8-K, including the exhibits listed below, is being furnished, not filed, pursuant to Regulation FD.
