The Alliance Calls for Extension of Entergy New Orleans Shutoff Moratorium

10/31/2022

On Friday, October 28, 2022 the Alliance for Affordable Energy and Delta Audubon sent a letter to the New Orleans City Council calling on the Council to extend the service shutoff moratorium for Entergy New Orleans (ENO) residential customers set to expire on Tuesday, November 1.

20,000 accounts are at risk of disconnection. That is, tens of thousands of children and elders who will be left in the cold and the dark on this Council’s watch, unless you act on behalf of your constituents. Telling vulnerable people to rely on ENO’s subpar customer service to apply for a three or four month deferred payment option is not a solution. At best, it is kicking the can down the road, as methane, or natural gas prices remain high and ENO has applied for approximately $170M in costs related to Hurricane Ida that will drive up bills even further.

While the moratorium is set to expire, Entergy New Orleans (ENO) announced on Friday, October 28 that it raised quarterly dividend payments to shareholders by 6%. The City cannot abide any more loss of life due to Entergy’s greed and negligence - justice demands it.

Losing ground: How one New Orleans community is sinking By Sara Sneath

The ground has been sinking all across New Orleans as the Mississippi River soil that created the city dries out and compacts – but few places are as bad as in a section of New Orleans East known as Village de L’Est, a predominantly Black and Vietnamese community.

A study conducted in 2016 by NASA identified groundwater use from a nearby, now-shuttered power plant as the primary cause for the sinking. Entergy New Orleans, which owns the plant, denies responsibility for the subsidence.

The Alliance's Position: Make an Informed Vote.

The Alliance for Affordable Energy is a 501c3, non-profit organization and therefore does not endorse political candidates campaigning for any seat. In 2016, the Alliance provided one of the candidates currently running for office with an award, however this does not imply that we endorsed him then or now, nor any other candidates in the present race for the Louisiana Public Service Commission.

The Alliance's role is to educate, not endorse.

We encourage all voters to attend our upcoming District 4 forum on October 12 in Pineville and District 3 forum on October 20 in New Orleans to learn where each of the candidates stand on the issues that are important to Louisiana voters today.
