NEW ORLEANS, May 11, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Entergy
Corporation (NYSE: ETR) today announced the creation of a new
sustainable planning, development and operations organization under
the leadership of Pete Norgeot,
currently senior vice president, transformation, to drive greater
strategic direction and collaboration in addressing the
sustainability expectations of stakeholders and advancing the
aspirations of the business. The new organization will realign key
internal teams to work collectively to implement strategies to
decarbonize Entergy's portfolio and expand environmentally
conscious practices while maintaining affordability and reliability
for customers.
"We are excited about the opportunity ahead for this new
organization to build on our construction project successes and
become a world-class developer of renewable energy and other clean
energy solutions for our customers," said Leo Denault, chairman and CEO of Entergy
Corporation. "Pete will work closely with our new customer
organization, which will be led by David
Ellis, to ensure we deliver a full range of solutions that
help our customers achieve their goals."
In this new leadership role, Norgeot, who will continue to serve
as a member of the Office of the Chief Executive, will report to
Paul Hinnenkamp, executive vice
president and chief operations officer. The new organization will
be composed of system planning and operations, led by Jason Reynolds; enterprise planning, led by
Elizabeth Adams; and a new power
development group to be led by Jonathan
Long, which will be responsible for building internal
capabilities to establish a robust pipeline of renewable energy
projects that will help Entergy achieve its sustainability
objectives.
Gary Dickens, currently vice
president, project construction, will succeed Long as vice
president of capital projects.
Current teams within Norgeot's former transformation
organization including commercial operations, technology and
nuclear decommissioning, will now report within the finance
organization, led by Drew Marsh,
executive vice president and chief financial officer.
Building on the recent announcement of the appointment of Ellis
as Entergy's first chief customer officer, the company also
announced the realignment of multiple internal teams to Ellis' new
integrated customer organization.
KeyString Labs, the company's innovation center that leads
efforts to understand customer frictions and bring to market new
products and services that meet their needs, will move from the
former transformation organization to the new integrated customer
organization. Some of KSL's near-term focus areas include:
- Electric Mobility (e.g., electric vehicles chargers, EV fleets,
electric transportation enablement).
- Low-Carbon Generation (e.g., extending low-carbon energy
generation opportunities to make it possible for our customers,
businesses and communities to create energy in a cleaner way,
together).
- Beneficial Electrification (e.g., adding electric options for
our customers to simultaneously reach sustainability goals and
reduce their operations costs).
Additionally, teams leading efforts to create extraordinary
customer experiences in their current daily interactions with the
business, which include the customer experience team and utility
sales and development services, will move within the new customer
organization.
All organizational realignment moves are effective May 16.
Working with our regulators and stakeholders, Entergy is
transforming its power generation portfolio in a responsible way
that balances reliability, affordability and environmental
stewardship. Learn about Entergy's commitment to growing its
