Entergy adds 20 MW at Grand Gulf, Miss., nuke



NEW YORK, July 24 (Reuters) - Entergy Corp. said Wednesday it 

increased power output at its Grand Gulf nuclear power station in 

Mississippi by 20 megawatts through modifications to the cooling 

towers.



The additional power is enough to serve 20,000 homes, and brings 

Grand Gulf's total capacity to 1,210 MW.



Entergy modified a cooling tower at Grand Gulf and built an auxiliary 

one in order to achieve the power increase.



Grand Gulf is located near Port Gibson in southeast Mississippi.



The plant is 10 percent owned by South Mississippi Electric Power 

Association and 90 percent owned or leased by Entergy subsidiary 

System Energy Resources.



One megawatt is roughly enough to power 1,000 average homes.
