The Louisiana Public Service Commission Holds the Keys to our Future

The LPSC is a powerful government body that makes real decisions about your energy bills, significantly impacting the lives of residents in our state every single day.

What does the LPSC do?

Sets consumer rates & utility profits – They set utility rates for the majority of Louisiana residents and determine how much return on equity (profit) utilities can make.
Approve or deny resources – They have authority to approve or deny nearly all resource additions, like a new gas plant or solar farm.
Determine the value of solar energy – They decide on the value of residential rooftop solar, through what is called net metering policies.
Determine storm costs – They determine what storm costs will be passed onto customers and how those costs will be recovered.
Implement programs – They are responsible for implementing our energy efficiency programs which reduce energy use, save money and help us meet our growing energy needs.
