Articles about AAE & the community

 Since 1985, AAE has been working to ensure fair, affordable, and environmentally responsible energy policy for ALL Louisiana energy consumers. We are Louisiana's only non-profit group working to protect consumer rights at the Louisiana Public Service Commission, and New Orleans City Council. Most states have organizations like ours that are supported by state allocated funds. We do not receive any funding from the city or state, and rely on our members, corporate sponsors, and foundations to keep our "lights on." We appreciate all support and we look forward to at least another 30 years of making sure your energy is economically and environmentally sustainable.

Our Work

Clean Energy

​The Alliance’s Clean Energy Program seeks to identify opportunities for and support the growth of clean energy resources in Louisiana. Our commitment to transforming the utility and energy regulatory environment at the most fundamental levels ensures Louisiana will not stand idly by as the effects of climate change ravage our communities and our coastline.

Consumer Protection & Education

​The Consumer Protection and Education Program is where policy meets people. The Alliance is the only group representing the public’s interest at the policy making table. From providing the public with opportunities to get engaged in the democratic process to educating youth about the importance of the production and consumption of energy resources, we give the people of Louisiana a voice on the issue.

Energy Efficiency

Through the Energy Efficiency Program we advocate for energy regulatory policy and programming that maximize our energy resources and minimize demand on energy infrastructure. By reducing our consumption of resources we are not only helping utility customers save on their bills, we are protecting our environment by establishing policy objectives for the responsible use of those energy resources and infrastructure.

Database

Through our work, we have amassed a large collection of legal reports and documents. We have compiled New Orleans dockets , Louisiana Public Service Commission dockets, and Reports for public use.

Entergy New Orleans' (ENO)
​Proposed Gas Plant
Docket UD-16-02

​Entergy wants YOU to pay them to build a $230+ million dollar gas plant in New Orleans. Entergy makes ~11% of what the plant costs as a bonus after all costs. Guess who also pays their bonus? Everyone in NOLA, every month, for the next 30 years! 
Oh, not to mention, this plant will only be used ~50 hours a year (less than 1%) and WON'T FIX POWER OUTAGES.
