Natural Gas System Rebuild
No Rate Impact on Customers
-
Entergy New Orleans is making tremendous progress with rebuilding the gas
system under budget and ahead of schedule at no cost to the customer.
-
Entergy New Orleans fought for alternative sources of funds for costs
associated with Hurricane Katrina in order to mitigate costs on the customer,
such as Community Development Block Grant funds and insurance proceeds.
-
Through innovations and continuous process improvements, Entergy New Orleans
was approximately $5 million under budget during the first phase (three years)
of the project.
-
There is no anticipation of a rate impact on customers over the next three
years.
-
The project also projected 130 miles of pipe replacement in the first three
years. Currently, Entergy New Orleans is ahead of schedule by replacing more
than 135 miles of the system.
-
The project recognized internationally as Global Infrastructure Project of the
Year by McGraw-Hill’s Platts Global Energy Awards based on strategic planning,
efficiency and timeliness.
