Entergy looking to add surcharge
We either pay now, or pay later folks. This is important, and probably needs to happen.
Last week, Entergy asked the PSC to add a surcharge to monthly bills — about $2.45 cents for the typical residential consumer in the Baton Rouge area who uses 1,500 kilowatt hours of electricity. Entergy wants to recoup the $496 million to $608 million spent to restore power in Louisiana after the two hurricanes. The company estimated having to spend up to $1.4 billion dollars for expenses, such as repairing facilities and replacing power lost over three states.
