Entergy Arkansas officials said the Happy Valley Transmission Project will be discontinued and is no longer required to address North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) Transmission Planning Performance Requirements.
The endeavor was designed to provide continued reliable electric service in the west and central regions of Entergy Arkansas’ energy network, with the utility deciding to end the project after factoring information about the energy network and variables such as the latest forecast of electrical consumption.
“Entergy Arkansas continually evaluates its resource needs to ensure it can provide reliable and reasonably priced electric service to customers in Arkansas, including the evaluation of the needs and drivers of the Happy Valley Transmission Project,” Laura Landreaux, president and CEO of Entergy Arkansas, said. “Using the most recent reliability evaluation, the company has determined that the Happy Valley Transmission Project is no longer needed at this time to meet NERC reliability standards.”
Entergy Arkansas officials said the utility would continue to monitor and evaluate its energy network and plan projects ensuring the company’s ability to continue to provide reliable and reasonably priced electric service to customers.
Entergy Arkansas provides electricity to approximately 700,000 customers in 63 counties. The firm is an integrated energy company engaged primarily in electric power production and retail distribution operations.
