Entergy Power Development Corporation, a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Entergy Corporation ("Entergy"), a registered
holding company under the Public Utility Holding Company Act of
1935, as amended (the "Act"), acting on behalf of Entergy UK
Enterprises Limited ("EUKE") a corporation organized under the
laws of Great Britain, hereby notifies the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "Commission") that EUKE is, and claims
status as, a "foreign utility company" ("FUCO") within the
meaning of Section 33 of the Act.
Item 1. Name, Business Address, Facilities and Ownership
The name and business address of the company claiming FUCO
status is:
Entergy UK Enterprises Limited

EUKE was organized for the purpose of acquiring and holding
certain of Entergy's investments in foreign utility companies.
At the current time, the only such investment owned by EUKE
is an interest in National Grid Group plc, a holding company
whose primary subsidiary is the sole independent transmission
company for England and Wales. Entergy will own, indirectly
through EUKE, 100 American Deposit Receipts of National Grid
Group plc. Other than Entergy and its subsidiaries, no person
holds a 5% or more voting interest in EUKE.
National Grid Group plc is a holding company formed in 1989

subsidiaries is The National Grid Company plc ("NGC") which as a
result of the U.K. government's attempts to privatize its utility
industry is the sole independent transmission company for England
and Wales. As such, NGC owns 4,300 miles of overhead
transmission lines and 400 miles of underground cables in England
and Wales and with interconnections with Scotland and France. It
is subject to the regulatory controls overseen by the Director
General of Electricity with respect to the prices it may charge
for transmission services in England and Wales.
