New plan expected to be refiled in September

NEW ORLEANS – Entergy New Orleans announced today that it is withdrawing its filing of July 31 that proposed a change in the electricity and gas rates for New Orleans customers. The decision is in response to feedback the company has received from New Orleans City Council members and its legal and technical advisors. In particular, councilmembers expressed the need for a better path forward toward a single rate structure for all customers of Entergy New Orleans, both those residing on the east bank of Orleans Parish and those residing in Algiers. 

“We are committed to developing a comprehensive blueprint for New Orleans electric and gas customers that provides affordable, safe and reliable service and makes sense for all parts of the city,” said Rod West, group president utility operations, Entergy Corp. “The council and its advisors were thoughtful and concise in their feedback, and we plan to put forth a new and better plan that is responsive to their comments.”

Entergy New Orleans filed its rate case on July 31, as required by the council in a resolution issued in September 2017. The filing was the first comprehensive base rate case filed by Entergy New Orleans since 2008. This morning, the company formally submitted a request for withdrawal with the Clerk of Council’s office. The company plans to file a new plan in September.
