electric generating station located in Buenos Aires, Argentina,
which currently consists of seven natural gas/oil-fired
generating units with a total installed capacity of 1,260 MW.
Costanera has contracted for 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 March 1999, would add 830
MW to the existing installed capacity to the plant. 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, an additional 3.06% interest

Energy Corporation ("Tarong Energy"), a Queensland government
owned corporation, to develop, own and operate an 840 MW addition

generating station near Brisbane, Australia. Coal from the
Wandoan Mine will be used as a source of long-term fuel supply
for the Wandoan Project and may be used as the fuel supply for
the Tarong Project.
In addition to the foregoing existing ownership interests in
FUCOs, EPDC is engaged in development activities with respect to
potential additional investments by Entergy in foreign energy
projects which would qualify as FUCOs. EPDC also may from time
to time acquire and hold, on behalf of Entergy, interests in
additional FUCOs. EPDC undertakes to file a further amendment to
this Notification in the event that it acquires any securities or
an interest in the business of another FUCO.
