So it's not possible? I think it's still possible but there were constraints that deemed it more beneficial to get the power from the outside. Maybe fuel issues?
From what I read, it wasn't a matter of a lack of resources.
It was a matter of, the facility didn't have the capability.

Are you willing to wait for tens of thousands of steel poles to be produced to replace distribution or are you cool with a new wood pole and having your power back on in a few days?
If you can tell me okay your power will be out next week for 48 hours while we install this steel pole and then you won’t lose power when a hurricane hits I’d sign up for that in a heartbeat.

let's build their power plants on St. Bernard territory and charge them out the arse for that power
The parish locals are losing their minds over a zero emissions river port. You think they gonna accept a power plant?

The PSC members are elected. Look at who their largest campaign contributors are.
It's not crazy to think that perhaps the PSC members have been corrupted to some extent.

Those steal poles won’t stop a tree falling on the line. FYI.

Orleans Parish takes way more than it gives to the state economy. Don’t try to piggyback on neighboring parishes

But you will lose power. Trees may fall into the wire, debris may fall into the wire, transformers may blow, a street sign may be in the wire. But guess what your pole is still standing and your in the dark anyway.

Steel poles are not suited for distribution due to the low basic insulation levels. You have to overcome the BIL of a steel pole with larger insulators and spacing. This is available on transmission lines/structures/rights of way, but not at the distribution level. Especially not in New Orleans with narrow roads and large tree canopy. It would require a cross arm at 12ft or more.
All that to say, steel poles are not the “easy” answer. And they are still rated at the same wind loading per the NEC requirement.

City-Run Utility -- A municipalization of Entergy's assets by the City of New Orleans so the city can assume direct ownership and management of the electric and gas systems for customers. This would allow the city to have maximum control over customer rates and business operations, the elimination of a rate of return requirement, and access to potential reimbursements afforded under the federal government emergency assistance laws.

they will have high rates on industrial/commercial to subsidize residential, which will further incentivize industrial/commercial to leave the city

It's worse than that. They realize that more jobs = more residents and they think they will lose control. Everything is a zero sum game for them. They don't believe in expanding the pie.
You really think these people all of a sudden care about the poor black residents of Violet?
