NEW ORLEANS – Entergy Corporation reported first quarter 2021 earnings per share of $1.66 on an as-reported basis and $1.47 on an adjusted basis. Due to cold weather, demand for heat was higher from the company’s approximately $3 million customers. As a result, Entergy’s total revenue was nearly $3 billion, up about 18% over the previous year.
“We had a strong first quarter and our team successfully executed on several fronts,” said Entergy Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Leo Denault in a press release. “We reached settlements on several important issues, reducing risk, providing long-term clarity, and solidifying a clear path for our future growth. This enables us to continue to make investments in a cleaner generation fleet and a more reliable delivery system that benefit our customers and our communities, and that support the long-term growth of our business.”
