Council advisers and others say the data Entergy has provided so far is full of holes. Casey DeMoss, CEO of the Alliance for Affordable Energy, noted solar prices are falling, but Entergy continues to rely on three-year-old data from an unknown source to model the cost of adding solar power to the city's portfolio. DeMoss said the power plant filing is "premature" without more accurate data on hand.
