Entergy New Orleans says it will institute temporary moratorium on electric shut-offs

NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) - Entergy New Orleans said late Monday (July 25) that it will institute a temporary moratorium on electric service shut-offs for delinquent customers struggling to pay skyrocketing summer bills.
The New Orleans City Council’s utilities committee had proposed a 90-day reprieve from service cut-offs and had asked Entergy New Orleans officials to attend a meeting Tuesday to discuss their plan. The Alliance for Affordable Energy joined in the committee’s request, saying a moratorium during the peak summer months and hurricane season could save lives.
Whether Entergy New Orleans officials will still attend the meeting is unclear, since the power provider issued a statement late Monday preemptively agreeing to the committee’s request.
“We are very sensitive to the challenges our customers are facing during this historic period of inflation, rising national energy costs and record electricity usage,” the statement said. “We are aligned with the Council on the need to provide assistance and will implement the Council’s shut-off moratorium.”

Due to fears that electrical shut-offs over unpaid bills could produce life-threatening heat, especially for the elderly, the utilities committee drafted a resolution calling for a three-month moratorium on service terminations.

Write-offs incoming as a large portion of Latoya’s voting block will stop paying any electric bills.
Republican voters are about to get screwed with huge “fuel offset” increases. I hate democrats. They create nothing but destruction.

Cutoff when it's cooler, still owe the money.

Yeah this is just kicking the can down the road. They can’t pay a $300 dollar bill but in a couple of months they’ll be able to pay a $1000 one? Entergy best bet is to put them on a payment plan

Just don’t pay until the moratorium ends. Then move to a new state.
Give them the finger when they demand you pay them.
(I’m sure our banks and federal government will aid in their collection of money if you’re in a tax bracket.)

Like everything else, the bills from those who won’t pay will just get tacked on across the board to the bills of people who always pay. Entergy will never come out and say this but it will be included in one of the 20 fees and surcharges that appear on everybody’s bill.

Boy, this is gonna end well 
Member when the city council said they were going to take over Entergy's grid because they said they'd run it better?

Doesn't Entergy already have a significant surcharge for that?

Why don't all those people just buy solar panels so they won't have to pay high Entergy bills?
Isn't that what the democrats tell us when we complain about gas being so high? Just buy an EV

IDK. I guess other Entergy customers pay more on top of their already insanely high rates?

Funding should come out of LaToya's travel budget.

Most likely passed on to paying customers at some point in the future.

Why don't they just ask Entergy's fuel providers for a few months of free fuel.

Just another step to Socialism and then the inevitable failure of our society.

Then they'll sell all the Air Jordans and brand new iPhones they are about to buy since they don't have to pay their light bill, and use that money to repay the electric company. I don't see the problem.
