As for the HOURS long power outage I experienced yesterday, the email from #Entergy only gave the cause as "Your outage was caused by damage to Entergy equipment".

No shit. Could you be at least a BIT more specific?? It was a nearly EIGHT hour outage... on a clear weather day!!

Entergy $ETR reported EPS of $2.99, exceeding the forecast of $2.94, but revenue details are unavailable against the $3.71B estimate.

Kellanova $K achieved EPS of $0.91, beating the $0.85 forecast, with revenue of $3.23B, above the expected $3.16B.

CMS Energy $CMS posted EPS of $0.84, outperforming the forecast of $0.78, but revenue came in at $1.74B, missing the $1.86B estimate.

#GrandGulfNuclearStation, troubled #NuclearPlant, reemerges as hot topic as electric bills soar

Latest outage at #Entergy property comes as regulators press dispute over performance

By SAM KARLIN and MATT SLEDGE | Staff writers Aug 7, 2022

"For years, regulators in #Louisiana, #Mississippi and #Arkansas have fought to force #EntergyCorp to pay refunds for alleged #mismanagement and problematic #bookkeeping at its massive #GrandGulfNuclearPowerStation, in #PortGibsonMississippi.

"Grand Gulf has now been offline for more than three weeks. It’s the latest in a series of outages at the plant, where unreliability has been a central gripe of regulators. The shutdown is forcing the utility to buy expensive natural gas to make up for the lost power generation, squeezing customers who are already facing skyrocketing bills - and adding another layer to the long-running dispute over Entergy’s alleged mismanagement of the power plant.

[...]

"The latest litigation, which began last year, centers around outages at the plant; the Grand Gulf was the least reliable nuclear plant in the U.S. from 2018 to 2020, according to figures compiled by the Nuclear Energy Institute [#NEI]."

Ahhh... Good ol' #GrandGulfNuclearStation. I believe one of the LEAST safest nuclear power plant in the US. And run by #Entergy!

#NuclearPower generation seeing a resurgence. #Mississippi could benefit [?!!]

he Public Service Commission held a Nuclear Summit this week. New technologies are being developed. The future for more nuclear power in Mississippi is on the table.

[...]

Mississippi’s lone nuclear power plant is operated by Entergy in Port Gibson. Known as the Grand Gulf Nuclear Station, the plant is one of five nuclear power plants operated by Entergy in the United States, Jim Smiley, Entergy’s Senior Manager of Advanced Nuclear Development said. The other four are operating in neighboring Louisiana and Arkansas, with two in each state.

Mississippi’s nuclear plant has been in operation since 1985 and received an upgrade to its power generation capability in 2012, making it stand out among other nuclear power plants in the world [yeah, for most PROBLEMS!]..."
