Entergy’s Bill Mohl announces retirement

Entergy Corporation announced this week that Bill Mohl, president of Entergy Wholesale Commodities and a corporate officer, will retire effective Feb. 28.

Mohl has worked in the energy industry for 35 years, including 15 years in various roles at Entergy, such as vice president of commercial operations and vice president of system planning and operations.

During his time at Entergy, Mohl played an important role in implementing the portfolio transformation strategy which led to numerous power plant acquisitions, obtaining regulatory approvals for moving the Louisiana electric utilities into the MISO market, developing and implementing the business strategy to optimize the EWC business, and the eventual departure from this business because of difficult market conditions.

“Bill’s contributions have been key in helping us to achieve our business objectives,” Leo P. Denault, Entergy’s chairman and CEO, said. “In particular, the successful transition from the merchant power business is allowing us to focus on growing the utility. His leadership, business perspective and ability to achieve results are characteristics that made him an important member of our senior leadership team.”

Before joining Entergy, Mohl worked at Koch Industries in several leadership positions including vice president of Koch Energy Trading, chief operating officer of Koch Midstream Services and chief operating officer of Koch Investment Group. Mohl began his career with Xcel Energy where he worked in various roles in system operations during a 14-year period of employment.

Due to Entergy’s exit from the wholesale power industry, Mohl’s responsibilities will be transferred to other senior Entergy leaders effective March 1.
