Entergy promoted its Hurricane Beryl response alongside a pair of pending settlements with Louisiana regulators over rates and the Grand Gulf Nuclear Station during a second quarter earnings call.

MISO announced it was unable to land on a suitable substitute for a $260 million Entergy Louisiana reliability project about eight months after it announced an alternatives study.

Entergy’s CEO touched on recent developments on a first quarter earnings call, including the utility’s grid hardening plan for Louisiana.

The Louisiana PSC voted 3-2 to approve Entergy Louisiana’s hotly debated, $1.9 billion grid hardening proposal to be funded by ratepayers, four days after the utility submitted it.

NextEra Energy Transmission and the Southern Renewable Energy Association are asking FERC to intervene in a last-ditch effect to save the only competitive transmission project ever approved for MISO South.

FERC authorized Entergy La. and Entergy NOLA to assume more than $15 billion in debt and securities, in part to make up losses incurred during Hurricane Ida.

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

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.

Entergy has activated two of the eight transmission lines serving the New Orleans area, allowing them to restore power to parts of downtown.
