Louisiana regulators have shelved a vote that might have had them compelling Entergy Louisiana and Cleco Power to leave MISO for another transmission operator.

 Louisiana regulators say they'll consider a split with MISO if ratepayers are forced to fund major transmission built in northern parts of the footprint.

Entergy continues to field criticisms that it’s hindering transmission development to keep its territory shielded from competing energy suppliers.

Louisiana and Mississippi joined MISO and its TOs in opposing LS Power’s campaign for regional cost sharing of transmission projects down to 100 kV.

Transmission owners will continue receiving a 10.02% ROE, FERC said, rejecting complaints from consumer organizations and Commissioner Glick.

FERC rejected a new argument by the Louisiana PSC in a 17-year-old case tied to a now terminated agreement among Entergy’s operating companies.

FERC reversed one part of a decision on the long-disputed bandwidth calculation Entergy used to equalize production costs among its operating companies.

FERC rejected separate rehearing requests from both sides in a dispute over the ROE for Entergy’s Grand Gulf Nuclear Station.

Entergy’s proposal to spend $10-12 billion to address a 7,000-MW capacity deficit Entergy Louisiana forecasts through 2038 is being challenged.

FERC ordered hearing and settlement procedures on a complaint by the Louisiana PSC alleging its ratepayers are being overcharged by an Entergy subsidiary.
