Entergy Corp. wrongfully charged customers over eight years for a power station that often malfunctioned and was repeatedly deemed unsafe, according to allegations in a federal complaint filed by three regulators of the utility this week.
The New Orleans City Council, the Louisiana Public Service Commission and the Arkansas Public Service Commission all say that Entergy should have retired the Grand Gulf Nuclear Station in Mississippi, instead of spending $800 million on a 2012 upgrade that hasn't stopped the station's repeated problems.

The utility also charged customers over $361 million for power it had to purchase when the deficient station was offline, the regulators said. The agencies said Entergy should refund customers those amounts, plus other damages, at a total cost of more than $1 billion.
The agencies complained Tuesday to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, which regulates the transmission and sale of electricity and natural gas, as well as the transportation of oil by pipeline.

Instead they’ll just continue to up charge 300% initially, because thats the reading they get from their “new machines”

That's rich. If these three boards had any freaking accountability around them, a lot of Entergy's crap would never happen. Now they need the feds to step in?

Let me guess. The PUC's approved the $800MM project over a decade ago and now want to Monday morning QB this shite. Only the government could frick up the best source for clean and reliable energy.

Question, say Entergy didn’t elect to upgrade this plant and retired it, what would have been the alternative and how much would it have cost?

Grand Gulf is the worst nuclear power plant in the country.
River Bend is the second worst.
Nobody that works at either has anything good to say about them.

This is a great point. They allowed this into the rates.

I have been in both and they are not as bad as you, through hearsay, think they are.
Grand Gulf went through a 15% uprate project in that time-frame. If anything, blame (formerly) Shaw Group for the overruns.

I'm shocked that Entergy would take customer's money and not do what they said they were going to do with it. Completely and utterly shocked.

Entergy Corp. reported a record profit of nearly $1.4 billion last year, up 11% from 2019, despite lower sales across the board as demand for power from retailers, offices, industry and even residential consumers fell during the pandemic.
Entergy Chairman and Chief Executive Leo Denault said Wednesday that the shareholder-owned utility, the only Fortune 500 company headquartered in New Orleans, was able to increase profit despite lower sales due to sharp cuts in fixed costs, including "workforce attrition," trimming employee expenses and by delaying spending on some projects.
