# Melody Neil Melody Neil is AVAIO Digital's "Public Affairs Lead" (signature, `260305-email.pdf`, p. 5; [email protected] / @avaiodigital.com, 512-923-8141). She authored the production's most consequential record: the 2026-03-03 "Private and Confidential" email to "[[Hugh McDonald|Secretary McDonald]]" asking whether Arkansas would allow "Tier IV Equivalent" generators — the email that documents, in AVAIO's own words, the executed Entergy ESA and its mandatory-curtailment terms (150 h/yr; LMR Type 1 until [[Ironwood]], EEA-2 until [[Jefferson Power Station]]). ## Role and affiliations Public Affairs Lead, AVAIO Digital. Listed among AVAIO's participants for the 2026-02-09 DEQ meeting (per [[Mark Allison]]). ## Appearances in the corpus - [[AVAIO Tier 4 Equivalent Email to the Commerce Secretary]] — author of the request and the "Background and detail" block ("Without this provision, Entergy would not have supplied any power"). - [[AVAIO Emergency Generator Pre-Permitting Correspondence]] — named meeting participant. ## Notes The Commerce-Secretary channel — rather than the permitting docket — is itself a documented finding; see the source page.
