In the on-going Entergy New Orleans (ENO) rate case, Docket UD-18-07, the City Council has adopted Resolution R-16-03, which required ENO to submit a proposal for a decoupling pilot program.

Decoupling is a tool used by utility regulators to ensure that a utility’s realized profits and its actual sales of electricity are disassociated from each other.

ENO submitted a proposal for a Formula Rate Plan (FRP) to the Council and asserted that this Plan included the required decoupling mechanism. However, the Plan proposed by ENO falls short of the requirements agreed upon by the Council.
