Although it is believed not necessary, out of an abundance of caution notice is hereby given, pursuant to Article IV, Section 2l(D)(l) of the Louisiana Constitution and Louisiana Public Service Commission General Order 7/112019 · (Docket R-34738), that on October 30, 2024, Entergy Louisiana, LLC (“ELL”), a public utility providing retail electric and gas service in various parishes throughout the State of Louisiana, filed with the Louisiana Public Service Commission (“LPSC”) its Application for Approval of Generation and Transmission Resources Proposed in Connection with Service to a Significant Customer Project in North Louisiana, including Proposed Rider, and Request for Timely Treatment.
The filing seeks certification of various generation and transmission-related resources to serve a new customer proposing to site a facility in northeast Louisiana. The filing sets forth that no new rate schedule or rider is being proposed for those resources and that the recovery of costs for those resources is anticipated to come largely from the new customer through a Contribution in Aid of Construction Agreement and the customer’s participation in ELL’s standard Large Load, High Load Factor Power Service Rate Schedule. The filing further outlines the terms of a Corporate Sustainability Rider, which is an arrangement available only to the new customer and that sets forth the process for procuring and seeking certification of various renewable or low carbon resources and how the new customer will be assessed additional fees to recover the costs thereof. The filing sets forth the cost recovery treatment for the new transmission, generation, and renewable resources, and further explains that the customer’s payments are expected to result in net economic benefits to all of ELL’s customers.
For questions and comments regarding ELL’s filing, please call the LPSC toll free at (800) 256-2397. Additionally, the filing, including its attachments may be viewed in the Records Division of the LPSC at the following address:
