(c)Due to regulatory treatment, the changes in the estimated fair value of the interest rate swaps for Entergy Texas are recorded through interest expense and such amounts are simultaneously reversed and recorded as an offsetting regulatory asset or liability. The gains or losses recorded as interest expense when the interest rate swaps for Entergy Texas are settled are expected to be recovered in ratemaking relating to the Legend Power Station.
