      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.


          Number of                Annual Projected
        Installations                   Savings
