That is false in so many ways. Yes they are regulated in many ways, but not how much they can invest into their own infrastructure! geez

Since you seem to be in the know, do you think Entergy is cut back on their maintenance program alot in the last 5 to 10 years?
Someone that I know who did pole surveys for a year or so in the area said the poles were in shitty shape all over the place and there were a ton of trees grown all into the lines.
A few people told my friend that Entergy plays a game with this issue because they know when big storms come through, they will get funding in one form or another (insurance or gov.) to fix things.
Not sure I believe all of that, but seems plausible.

They make a return on investment that is regulated by the PSCs. Utilities would prefer a given return on a large amount rather than a small amount. Controlling the investment that is recoverable is the cost control for the customer.
