City Council passes package of measures to probe Entergy New Orleans' Ida response

A package of measures aimed at investigating Entergy New Orleans’ decisions before and during Hurricane Ida, and geared towards eventually studying options for severing the city’s ties with its power provider, received unanimous approval from the New Orleans City Council on Thursday.
quote:
The most direct response to those failures will be a review of Entergy’s performance during the storm. The inquiry, conducted by the city's consultants on electrical regulation, is expected to take between 60 and 90 days.
quote:
Paired with the resolution that will result in a report was a resolution urging the state Public Service Commission and federal regulators to investigate whether Entergy Louisiana – which handles the company’s electrical services throughout the rest of the state – did enough to ensure its transmission lines could stay up during a hurricane.
quote:
Another non-binding resolution warned Entergy New Orleans that the council would only agree to raise customers’ bills to pay for the storm recovery “after a careful evaluation of proposed increases to ensure such costs are reasonable and prudent and not a result of any failure of Entergy New Orleans to adequately maintain and strengthen the utility infrastructure.”
quote:
Finally, the council approved measures to develop criteria for a management audit of Entergy New Orleans and put out a bid for contractors who could produce a report on alternatives to the power company.

It is going to be hilarious when the city takes over as power provider.

I think entergy did a great job. I mean they had stuff back on line in a week and a half after a catastrophic failure. That’s pretty good.

NOPSI 2.0 incoming ….. am I right?
Those who don’t learn from history are bound to repeat it. Why doesn’t NOPSI still exist ?

Entergy already told them they’d be glad to GTFO. City Council is just asking for it at this point

Populist garbage

I’m not a huge fan of Entergy generally but they knocked it out of the fricking park with their Ida response.

Entergy New Orleans' Ida response
You mean getting the entire city back up and running in under 2 weeks after a direct hit from a Cat 5?
What’s the probe going to find? Applause?
New Orleans is a pathetic raging dumpster fire of incompetence and corruption led by a pathetic rabid lunatic from California

“Stay up” sounds very technical and professional.

LaToya is a criminal and an idiot. But every member, and I mean EVERY member, of the city council is just as stupid and criminal.

Why doesn’t Entergy just tell NOLA To go get fricked?

Prepare to be underwhelmed.

Lake Charles didn't probe Entergy Louisiana after Laura obliterated the grid over there.
People just understand the eye while it was still a strong CAT3 crossed over all of the Transmission infrastructure that feeds New Orleans from around/south of Baton Rouge (mainly Willow Glen) (with exception of the line in NOLA east that goes to Slidell)

This sounds like a good ole fashion shakedown.

Remember this in five years, New Orleans. You voted for this.
