(Public Utility Holding Company .
Act of 1935) .
Pursuant to Rule 24 promulgated by the Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC) under the Public Utility Holding
Company Act of 1935, as amended, modified by the application(s)-
declaration(s) in the above referenced files and the related
orders dated December 28, 1992 and July 27, 1995 (collectively,
the "Orders"), this is to certify that the following paragraphs
report transactions carried out by Entergy Systems and Service,
Inc. (ESASI) during the three (3) months ended June 30, 1995
pursuant to the authorization of the SEC and provide such other
information as is required to be reported in accordance with the
provisions of the Orders.
I. Development of Energy Efficiency Technology and
Manufacturing Processes of Systems & Service International,
Inc. (SASI)
As reported in ESASI's Supplemental Rule 24 Certificate,
dated May 5, 1995, in File No. 70-7947, on April 20, 1995 ESASI
entered into a number of transactions with SASI. These
transactions included the execution of an Asset Purchase
Agreement pursuant to which ESASI purchased all of SASI's right,
title and interest in the Electronic Ballast Device and certain
other energy efficiency technologies developed or under
development by SASI (exclusive of the Monitor). ESASI does not
believe that SASI is currently pursuing the development of any
other energy efficiency technologies.
ESASI also reported in the above referenced Supplemental
Rule 24 Certificate that, concurrently with the above
transactions, SASI transferred substantially all of its assets
and liabilities (including its manufacturing operations) to
Systems & Service International Manufacturing, L.P. (the
"Partnership"). The Partnership, in turn, was assigned all of
SASI's rights and obligations under the Exclusive Distribution
Agreement, as amended, and entered into a Manufacturing Agreement
with ESASI pursuant to which it agreed to continue to manufacture
the Electronic Ballast Device for ESASI at current pricing levels
for a minimum term of one year. Section D of the First Amendment
to the Exclusive Distribution Agreement provides that the
Partnership "will exercise its reasonable best efforts to reduce
the cost of producing the Products." Consistent with this
obligation, the Partnership has continued the operational
planning relating to the automation of production lines initiated
by SASI.
II. Use of SASI's Products Within the BASE Region
As set forth above, on April 20, 1995 SASI assigned the
Exclusive Distribution Agreement, as amended, to the Partnership.
The Monitor is, therefore, currently manufactured and supplied to
ESASI by the Partnership pursuant to the terms of that Agreement.
ESASI and the Partnership also entered into a Manufacturing
Agreement providing for the Partnership to continue to
manufacture and supply the Electronic Ballast Device for ESASI.
ESASI has utilized the Monitor and the Ballast in energy service
applications in the "Base Region." The following is a summary
which indicates such installations and projected energy
conservation which will result in savings of generating capacity.
