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.

MISO said its proposal to conduct transmission cost allocation separately for the South and Midwest regions is likely to be in place for up to four years.

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

New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell called for more transmission, microgrids and renewable energy during a talk featured at North America Smart Energy Week.

Entergy said it could either sell its New Orleans unit, merge it with Entergy Louisiana or step out of the way as New Orleans navigates a municipal utility.

A former FERC commissioner, along with other stakeholders, say MISO has allowed itself to be led by Entergy in long-term transmission planning.

Entergy has pushed back on the notion that sturdier transmission or more solar panels would have helped Louisiana's grid better withstand Hurricane Ida. 

Entergy called its restoration work “near-miraculous,” but local leaders asked why the company did not use the New Orleans Power Station's capabilities.

As greater New Orleans endures a second day of blackouts following Hurricane Ida, questions are swirling regarding Entergy's massive transmission failure.

Entergy restored power to a fraction of customers in New Orleans Wednesday morning, using a transmission line from the northern side of Lake Pontchartrain.
