1. 1 Entergy Transmission Proposed Transmission Reliability Projects Entergy Transmission Planning Summit New Orleans, LA July 10, 2003

2. 2 Topics 2004 - 2008 Transmission Reliability Projects 2009 - 2013 Transmission Reliability Target Areas 2004 Transmission Infrastructure Projects (Asset Preservation)

3. 3 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.
