It looks like the PSC has agreed to funding Entergy’s $1.9B infrastructure upgrade. Bills will gradually increase until they top out at $7/month for all customers.

quote:

The Louisiana Public Service Commission on Friday, working on four days' notice, approved Entergy's plan to upgrade its power grid and bill ratepayers for the $1.9 billion project.

The average electric bill for Entergy's 1 million Louisiana customers would go up by 57 cents a month to start, peak at an extra $7 a month in five years and then gradually decrease. WBRZ

You have to get some of that Co-Op, WST is my preferred flavor.

Everything else keeps going up in price so entergy might as well join in. Yippee.

Has Louisiana's PSC ever voted down a rate increase of any sort? It seems they just rubber stamp everything the utility companies throw their way.

Construction/upgrade costs have tripled in Louisiana for Entergy over the last 10 years.

A 1.9B project to save 1.2B and we get to pay for it. Talk about a deal

If the increase was to put underground lines then sure. Instead this is a money grab since whatever is planned to happen will just get axed.

Few years ago Entergy did something to the gas line and fricked up my yard. So the nicest thing I can say about them is I hope they go under or I wish they could go under.

Sure it will. There will be more increases long before then.

Good thing I have SLECA. I have an 1,850 sq ft. house, and my bill is only $50-$55 per month.
