Entergy New Orleans

The Louisiana Public Service Commission and Trump administration both made decisions in April that could mean more expensive energy bills for residents.

The approval in New Orleans is part of a larger, $484 million deal that will see Entergy turn over all of its natural gas distribution assets to the firm.

GSN reporters reflect on a year of the Utility Bill of the Month series investigating missing, expensive and just wrong water and power bills in the region.

The average New Orleans resident in 2019 paid about $112 per month. In 2022, that same customer using the same amount of electricity would pay $179 per month — a 60% increase.
