When resilience planning, utilities use modeling information about future weather conditions in the areas they serve, looking at a range of different possibilities, including worst-case scenarios. Climate change is already increasing costs for electric customers significantly, a reality we’re facing in Louisiana.

Later, the LPSC will likely go into Executive Session to discuss the Grand Gulf litigation at the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and we're optimistic that our regulators are going to fight for the refunds Louisiana ratepayers need!
Community Organizations Call on New Orleans City Council to Investigate Entergy New Orleans Spending2/8/2024 The Alliance for Affordable Energy joins other organizations in calling for the New Orleans City Council to investigate utility spending related to advertising, public relations, consulting, lobbying and commissioned research for “Operation Gridiron."
Using Powder River Basin coal from Wyoming for decades, the power plants have been a source of power in Louisiana under varying ownership, lately Cleco, and NRG, and Northern States Power Company before that.
After a 13 year process, the Louisiana Public Service Commission voted 3-2 to approve a Final Rule with a Third-Party Administrator (TPA) model to administer robust statewide energy efficiency programs.
The Chair and Vice Chair positions will lead the LPSC meetings and represent the LPSC for 2024, while the Representatives for OMS, ERSC, and SPP will represent the LPSC in those respective policy tables. When it comes to OMS, ERSC and SPP we’ll need a Commissioner that understands the value of transmission.

Turns out, Louisiana’s electric utility grid needs to step it up to address resilience and reliability, yet untangling the two has become a bit messy.
By Jessica Hendricks, AAE's State Policy Director
Someone else needs to step up once in a while and it’s about time you stood up for yourself. Solar and wind are just sitting over there! Not to mention energy efficiency, poor guy, no one even realizes his potential.
Energy Efficiency programs are nearly always seen as a win-win by reducing energy bills, creating jobs, improving indoor air quality and reducing strain on our electric grid. The cheapest energy is the energy you don’t use.

The burning of fossil fuels for energy has also changed our climate, making life in Louisiana increasingly difficult in the face of extreme weather and sea level rise, further threatening the well-being of our most vulnerable friends, family, and neighbors.

UPDATE: THIS MEETING HAS BEEN RESCHEDULED TO NOVEMBER 6, 2023.
By Yvonne Cappel-Vickery, AAE's Clean Energy Grid Organizer
The transmission portion of our electric grid helps us keep our communities powered, but the transmission grid is also an unsung hero for the energy transition. Transmission lines allow renewable energy to be transported to population centers that otherwise could not access that energy.
New Orleans City Council approves an increase in electric & gas revenues for Entergy New Orleans9/12/2023
While this revenue will be collected through a charge on customers bills, electric customers will not experience an increase in their bills because incoming bill credits from a settlement in Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) docket EL 18-152 (related to the Grand Gulf Nuclear Station) will offset these costs. The average gas customer will see an increase of $4.93 on their monthly bill.
