This paper deals with the problem of finding the range of entropy values resulting from actions of discrete amenable groups by automorphisms of compact abelian groups. When the acting group $G$ is locally normal, we obtain an entropy formula and show that the full range of entropy values $[0,\infty]$ occurs for actions of $G$. We consider related entropy range problems, give sufficient conditions for zero entropy and, as a consequence, verify the known relationship between completely positive entropy and mixing for these actions.
