The News: Entergy Arkansas has promoted Bentley Story to director of industrial accounts, where he will support the utility’s largest customers and employers, strengthen service for key industrial accounts and expand its managed accounts portfolio. Story previously served as a senior project manager and spent a decade as director of business development at the Arkansas Economic Development Commission.
Project Watch Take: Major utilities play a central role in industrial recruitment and expansion because power capacity, reliability and cost increasingly influence site selection decisions. Story’s combination of utility account management and economic development experience strengthens Entergy Arkansas’ ability to support existing industries while helping the state compete for new investment.
