The Energy Future New Orleans (EFNO) coalition is still awaiting a response from the New Orleans City Council to a letter sent on October 10.

View Our October 10 Letter

The letter highlighted a pressing concern: Entergy New Orleans (ENO) has yet to provide an estimate of the storm recovery costs from Hurricane Francine.

Typically, such estimates are shared within days of a major disaster, but Entergy’s ongoing delay raises red flags about their ability to track and account for infrastructure damage accurately.

In the absence of transparency, New Orleanians remain in the dark about potential costs that could be passed down to them. EFNO’s letter pointed out that ENO’s infrastructure, not vegetation, has been the primary cause of service interruptions. This makes it all the more crucial for the Council to demand a full accounting of Francine’s impact.

 

With residents facing high bills and unreliable service, EFNO calls on the Council to act now and hold Entergy accountable.

The Council recently approved a $100 million investment to upgrade and harden power poles. Councilmembers must ensure that this and future investments truly strengthen our energy system, delivering real resilience and reducing outages while keeping bills affordable.
