Report gives Entergy low marks in renewable energy and efficiency

The Times Picayune, July 24, 2014

Entergy Corp. was the country’s sixth-largest, investor-owned power provider in 2012, selling more than 107 million megawatt hours of electricity to retail customers that year.

But only a tiny sliver of that power came from renewable sources such as solar and wind, putting Entergy far behind other companies when it comes to promoting clean energy, according to a report released Thursday by sustainability advocates Ceres and Clean Edge.

In response, an Entergy spokesman said the report fails to provide a complete picture of the company’s efforts on clean energy.
