Jefferson, Louisiana 70121

Ladies and Gentlemen:

I have acted as counsel for Entergy Louisiana, LLC (the “Company”) in connection with the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-233403-04) (the “Registration Statement”), relating to (i) $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s Collateral Trust Mortgage Bonds, 2.35% Series due June 15, 2032 (the “2032 Bonds”) and (ii) $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s Collateral Trust Mortgage Bonds, 3.10% Series due June 15, 2041 (together with the 2032 Bonds, the “Bonds”). The Bonds have been issued pursuant to the Company’s Mortgage and Deed of Trust, dated as of November 1, 2015, with The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee (the “Trustee”) (the Mortgage, as amended and supplemented, including by the supplemental indenture and officer’s certificates establishing the terms of the Bonds, being hereinafter referred to as the “Mortgage”).

In my capacity as such counsel, I have examined the Registration Statement and the Mortgage, which has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. As to questions of fact material to the opinions expressed herein, I have relied upon representations and certifications of the officers of the Company and appropriate public officials without independent verification of such matters except as otherwise described herein. I have also examined or have caused to be examined such other documents and have satisfied myself as to such other matters as I have deemed necessary in order to render this opinion. In such examination, I have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of all natural persons, the authenticity of the documents submitted to me as originals, the conformity with the originals of all documents submitted to me as certified, facsimile or photostatic copies and the authenticity of the originals of all documents submitted to me as copies. I have not examined the Bonds, except a specimen thereof, and I have relied upon a certificate of the Trustee as to the authentication and delivery thereof.
