Entergy S.A. is an indirect subsidiary of Entergy formed to
participate in a consortium with non-affiliated companies through
which Entergy acquired an ownership interest in Central

a turnkey installation of a combined-cycle power plant comprised
of two gas turbine generator units with corresponding duct-fired
boilers and steam turbines. This expansion, expected to be
completed by late 1998, would add 830 MW to the existing
installed capacity of the Facility. The Facility also includes
interconnection components necessary to connect the Facility with
the utility grid. Entergy, through Entergy S.A. and other direct
and indirect subsidiaries, has a 6% ownership interest in
Costanera.
Entergy S.A. also owns, indirectly through Costanera, a
3.06% interest in Central Termoelectric Buenos Aires S.A., a FUCO
