At Entergy, we've been planning for the future for more than 100 years.

We've experienced a lot of change, generating power first from sawdust to splitting atoms, harnessing sunlight, and using abundant, clean and efficient natural gas.

We are leading the clean energy transformation for the utility industry and continue to explore alternative technologies.

We are on the verge of a monumental technology convergence, where reality swiftly catches up to possibility. The utility of the future does much more than keep the lights on and the gas flowing.

It's knowledgeable and skillful workforce will solve challenges and fuel a brighter, smarter, cleaner, and more prosperous future for everyone.


Having the lowest retail electricity rates of any utility in the United States drives economic growth within Entergy's region, a key ingredient to sustained growth for any utility.

We also believe a diverse workforce committed to personal and professional growth is critical to our success.

We place a high priority on developing talent to meet current and future needs, giving employees opportunities to grow their careers their way.

We've committed over the next three decades to reduce our carbon emissions from our operations to net-zero by 2050.
