EXPLANATORY NOTE
    
This Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 (the “Post-Effective Amendment”) to the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File Nos. 333-190911, 333-190911-02, 333-190911-03, 333-190911-04, 333-190911-05, 333-190911-06, 333-190911-07) (as amended by Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 and this Post-Effective Amendment, the “Registration Statement”) initially filed on August 30, 2013 and later amended by Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 filed on February 3, 2015, in each case, by Entergy Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Entergy”), Entergy Arkansas, Inc., an Arkansas corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Entergy (“EAI”), Entergy Gulf States Louisiana, LLC (formerly known as Entergy Gulf States Louisiana, L.L.C.), a Texas limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Entergy (“Old EGSL”), EL Investment Company, LLC (formerly known as Entergy Louisiana, LLC), a Texas limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Entergy (“Old ELL”), Entergy Mississippi, Inc., a Mississippi corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Entergy (“EMI”), Entergy New Orleans, Inc., a Louisiana corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Entergy (“ENOI”), Entergy Texas, Inc., a Texas corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Entergy (“ETI”), and System Energy Resources, Inc., an Arkansas corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Entergy (“SERI”), and immediately declared effective upon filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 462(e) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), is being filed pursuant to Rule 414 under the Securities Act, solely to update the Registration Statement with respect to Old ELL and its successor.

On October 1, 2015, the businesses formerly conducted by Old ELL and Old EGSL were combined into a single public utility (the “Business Combination”). In order to effect the Business Combination, under the Texas Business Organizations Code (the “TXBOC”), Old ELL allocated substantially all of its assets to a new subsidiary of Entergy, Entergy Louisiana Power, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“New ELL”), and New ELL assumed the liabilities of Old ELL, in a transaction regarded as a merger under the TXBOC. Under the TXBOC, Old EGSL allocated substantially all of its assets to a new subsidiary (“New EGSL”) and New EGSL assumed the liabilities of Old EGSL, in a transaction regarded as a merger under the TXBOC. Old ELL and Old EGSL remained in existence and contributed the membership interests in New ELL and New EGSL to an affiliate, Entergy Utility Holding Company, LLC, the common membership interests of which are owned by Old ELL, Old EGSL and Entergy. New EGSL then merged into New ELL with New ELL surviving the merger. Thereupon, Old ELL changed its name from “Entergy Louisiana, LLC” to “EL Investment Company, LLC” and New ELL changed its name from “Entergy Louisiana Power, LLC” to “Entergy Louisiana, LLC”. With the completion of the Business Combination, New ELL holds substantially all of the assets, and has assumed the liabilities, of Old ELL and Old EGSL.
 
On October 1, 2015, Old ELL and New ELL filed a Current Report on Form 8-K for the purpose of establishing New ELL as the successor issuer to Old ELL pursuant to Rule 12g-3(a) and 15d-5(a) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and to disclose events required to be disclosed on Form 8-K with respect to Old ELL, New ELL, and Old EGSL relating to the Business Combination. Pursuant to Rule 12g-3(a) under the Exchange Act, the series of outstanding debt securities that Old ELL had registered under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act and listed on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) are deemed registered by New ELL under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act by operation of Exchange Act Rule 12g-3(a) and New ELL is subject to the reporting and other applicable requirements of the Exchange Act.

In accordance with Rule 414(d) under the Securities Act, except as modified by this Post-Effective Amendment, New ELL, now as successor issuer to Old ELL, hereby expressly adopts the Registration Statement as its own registration statement for all purposes of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act.

No changes have been made to Part I of the Registration Statement. Accordingly, Part I has been omitted from this Post-Effective Amendment to the Registration Statement.

This Post-Effective Amendment is separately filed by Entergy, EAI, New ELL, EMI, ENOI, ETI and SERI on a combined basis. As to each registrant, the Registration Statement consists solely of the prospectus of such registrant (including the documents incorporated therein by reference), and the information set forth in Part II of the Registration Statement that is applicable to such registrant. No registrant makes any





representation as to the information relating to the other registrants, except to the extent that such information is included in the portion of the Registration Statement relating to such registrant. II-6

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
ENTERGY CORPORATION
Entergy Corporation is a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware. Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”) permits a corporation to provide in its certificate of incorporation that a director of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, for unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases, redemptions or other distributions, or for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
Section 145 of the DGCL provides that a corporation has the power to indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation and certain other persons serving at the request of the corporation in related capacities against amounts paid and expenses incurred in connection with an action or proceeding to which he is or is threatened to be made a party by reason of such position, if such person shall have acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the corporation, and, in any criminal proceeding, if such person had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful; provided that, in the case of actions brought by or in the right of the corporation, no indemnification shall be made with respect to any matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the adjudicating court determines that such indemnification is proper under the circumstances.
Entergy Corporation’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that its directors shall not be personally liable to it or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL. Entergy Corporation’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation further provides that it shall indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by the DGCL, and such right to indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director or officer of Entergy Corporation and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors





and administrators. The right to indemnification conferred by Entergy Corporation’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation also includes the right to be paid by Entergy Corporation the expenses incurred in defending or otherwise participating in any proceeding in advance of its final disposition. Entergy Corporation’s Bylaws, as amended, provide, to the extent authorized from time to time by the board of directors, rights to indemnification to its employees and agents who are not directors or officers similar to those conferred to its directors and officers.

Item 16. Exhibits.
See the Exhibit Index at the end of this registration statement.
Item 17. Undertakings.
Each of the undersigned registrants hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i)
To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii)
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and
(iii)
To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this registration statement or any material change to such information in this registration statement;
provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i), (1)(ii) and (1)(iii) of this section do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is a part of the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:





(i)
Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be a part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and
(ii)
Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415 (a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however , that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.
(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
(i)
any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
(ii)
any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
(iii)
the portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
(iv)
any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
(6) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(7) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the





registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

The Bonds will be issued in one or more series pursuant to the Company’s Mortgage and Deed of Trust, dated as of April 1, 1944, with The Bank of New York Mellon, as successor trustee (the “ Trustee ”) (the Mortgage, as heretofore amended and supplemented by all indentures amendatory thereof and supplemental thereto, including by the supplemental indenture establishing the terms of the Bonds, being hereinafter referred to as the “ Mortgage ”); and (II) the qualification under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, of the Mortgage.

In our capacity as such counsel, we have examined the Registration Statement and the Mortgage, which has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. As to questions of fact material to the opinions expressed herein, we have relied upon representations and certifications of the officers of the Company and appropriate public officials without independent verification of such matters except as otherwise described herein.

We have not examined the Bonds, except a specimen thereof, and we have relied upon a certificate of the Trustee as to the authentication and delivery thereof.






Subject to the foregoing and the further exceptions and qualifications set forth below, we are of the opinion that the Bonds are legally valid and are binding obligations of the Company.

This opinion is limited to the laws of the States of New York, Louisiana and Texas and the federal laws of the United States of America. To the extent that the opinions relate to or are dependent upon the federal laws or matters governed by the laws of the State of New York, we have relied upon the opinion of Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP, which is being filed as Exhibit 5.04 to the Registration Statement. To the extent that the opinions relate to or are dependent upon matters governed by the laws of the State of Louisiana, we have relied upon the opinion of Mark G.
