The Louisiana Public Service Commission Holds the Keys to our Future

The LPSC is a powerful government body that makes real decisions about your energy bills, significantly impacting the lives of residents in our state every single day.

What does the LPSC do?

  • Sets consumer rates & utility profits – They set utility rates for the majority of Louisiana residents and determine how much return on equity (profit) utilities can make.
  • Approve or deny resources – They have authority to approve or deny nearly all resource additions, like a new gas plant or solar farm.
  • Determine the value of solar energy – They decide on the value of residential rooftop solar, through what is called net metering policies.
  • Determine storm costs – They determine what storm costs will be passed onto customers and how those costs will be recovered.
  • Implement programs – They are responsible for implementing our energy efficiency programs which reduce energy use, save money and help us meet our growing energy needs.
