(Respondents), requesting that the Commission review whether Entergy Corporation's decision to acquire a combined cycle gas turbine generating plant located near Sterlington, Louisiana, called the Ouachita Plant violates the Entergy System Agreement and is otherwise just and reasonable as required by the Federal Power Act.
