Presentation Description
Entergy Infrastructure Strategy and Investment PlansDecarbonization technologies continue to become more cost effective and are expected to play an increasing role in power generation. Entergy has committed to achieving net-zero by 2050 and has established interim goals that we expect to meet along our path including: (1) a 50% emission rate reduction including both owned and purchased power generation from 2000 base year emissions by 2030 and (2) a 50% carbon-free power generation capacity by 2030. Our path to net-zero is defined by technology and we continue to develop our capital investment plans based on a robust iterative planning process that informs our resource plan and balances affordability, reliability and sustainability.
