摘要

Regulators in Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas and Mississippi will ncome to see the benefits of Entergy’s newly announced plan to nspin off its transmission assets in the four states to a new entity nthat in 2013 would then merge with ITC Holdings, Entergy nsaid last week. But the companies acknowledged, and analysts nagreed, that the regulatory approval process at FERC and else-nwhere may be difficult, and some said it could complicate the nutility’s pending membership in the Midwest Independent nSystem Operator grid.
