The Alliance Calls for Extension of Entergy New Orleans Shutoff Moratorium

We know now that 20,000 accounts are at risk of disconnection. Even assuming each account represents only one person – and that number is almost assuredly higher – that is still tens of thousands of New Orleanians who face disconnection of service just as the weather is beginning to turn colder. 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 – the City cannot abide any more loss of life due to Entergy’s greed and negligence.
