## What happened
The Commission, citing Arkansas Code Annotated § 23-4-1305(2)(E), directed Entergy Arkansas to provide a Legislative Council report by **2026-06-01**, framed "assuming Commission approval of the most recent Annual Update filing." The report must include:
1. The Generation Portfolio Mix on energy and capacity, plus a per-strategic-investment description including installed capacity, fuel/technology, location, estimated and Commission-approved costs, anticipated accredited capacity by season, in-service date, current estimated annual revenue requirement, and "any publicly disclosed contributions toward the strategic Investment."
2. Job-creation data for each strategic investment.
3. Customer arrears (count, average, and median) for the past 12 months.
4. Customer disconnections by month for the past 12 months.
5. An affordability narrative grounded in the disconnections and arrears data.
6. Average rate change by rate class and per-class average and median expected bills.
7. Projected bill impacts referencing EAL Hearing Exhibit No. 2 from the 2026-04-29 evidentiary hearing and EIA residential rate data.
## Significance
Order No. 6 is the most recent substantive filing in Docket 26-008-TF as of 2026-05-22, but **it is procedural — it does not rule on either of the two disputed questions** ([[Ironwood]]'s strategic-investment status, or the cost-of-debt methodology). The order's "assuming Commission approval" framing signals that a substantive approval order is contemplated but has not been issued.
The order's reference to "publicly disclosed contributions toward the strategic Investment" is the rare statutory hook that could permit disclosure of data-center or large-load contributions — but only where those contributions have *already* been publicly disclosed elsewhere. It does not pierce the seal on [[GAJA Rider 2026 Annual Update|Filing Requirement 16]] (Non-CIAC Customer Payments), which remains protected under [[Order No. 2 Interim Protective Order]] Category I.
