new statewide energy efficiency programLouisiana Illuminator

Entergy Louisiana and Cleco vehemently opposed the idea and successfully delayed its adoption for years .
Utility companies earn more profit when homes and businesses waste electricity.
Less waste leads to lower electric bills, which could mean lower profits for the utilities.
The utilities want their customers to pay fees for both the energy efficiency program and for the electricity they will no longer use because of that program.
A previous version of the LPSC’s energy efficiency rules had a policy that would allow utilities to charge their customers to recover profits lost as a result of the energy efficiency program.
That policy was actually removed from the final version, though nothing precludes the commission from adopting it in the future.
