Public Notices Published Wednesday, March 19th, 2008NOTICE NOTICE is hereby given that, pursuant to article IV, section 21 (D) (1) of the Louisiana Constitution, on March 4, 2008, Entergy Louisiana, LLC (“ELL”), an electric public utility having facilities to provide retail electric service to residential, commercial, industrial, and governmental customers in forty-six Parishes of the State of Louisiana, together with Entergy Gulf States Louisiana, L.L.C (“EGSL,” a successor in interest to Entergy Gulf States, Inc. (“EGS”)), an electric public utility having facilities to provide retail electric service to residential, commercial, industrial, and governmental customers in eighteen Parishes of the State of Louisiana, (collectively, the “Companies”), filed with the Louisiana Public Service Commission (“LPSC” or the “Commission”) in LPSC Docket No. U-29203 a Third Supplemental and Amending Joint Application for Interim and Permanent Recovery in Rates of Costs Related to Hurricanes Katrina and Rita (“Financing Application”) and a Fourth Supplemental and Amending Joint Application for Interim and Permanent Recovery in Rates of Costs Related to Hurricanes Katrina and Rita (“Ancillary Application”). With regard to ELL, the Financing Application and Ancillary Application supplement and amend the application filed on December 2, 2005, the First Supplemental and Amending Joint Application filed July 31, 2006, and the Second Supplemental and Amending Joint Application filed March 7, 2007 in order to pursue financing authorized by Act No. 55 of the Louisiana Regular Session of 2007 (“Restoration Law”). In the Financing Application, ELL and EGSL, along with Co-Applicant, the Louisiana Utility Restoration Corporation (“LURC” or “Corporation”) which joins in the Financing Application pursuant to La. R. S. 45:1318(B), have requested that the LPSC (1) approve and authorize the LURC to finance, through the issuance of “system restoration bonds” by the Louisiana Public Facilities Authority (the “LPFA”), a contribution to EGSL’s capital and a contribution to ELL’s capital (such capital contribution being calculated in relation to each Company’s system restoration costs and carrying costs on such system restoration costs as of May 31, 2008, the funding of each Company’s storm damage reserves, and each Company’s issuance costs with respect to the financing); (2) approve the issuance of system restoration bonds; (3) approve the structure of the proposed financing and capital contribution; (4) create system restoration property in favor solely of the Corporation, including the right to impose and collect system restoration charges sufficient to pay the system restoration bonds and associated financing costs; and (5) approve tariffs for each Company to implement the system restoration charges on behalf of the Corporation. Further, in the Financing Application, the Corporation and ELL seek Commission authorization of the issuance of system restoration bonds in one or more series in an aggregate principal amount equal to the sum of: (a) $528,033,000 of system restoration costs, plus (b) the costs of funding storm damage reserves in the amount of $152 million in a restricted escrow account, plus (c) issuance costs, including (i) a Debt Service Reserve Subaccount (“DSRS”) and (ii) other issuance costs (of which only ELL’s costs are capped at an amount not to exceed $2,834,000), plus or minus (d) any adjustment pursuant to the Issuance Advice Letter to reflect any approved credit enhancement or any change in carrying costs net of interim recovery necessary to account for the difference in days (greater or less) between the actual issuance date of the system restoration bonds and the May 31, 2008 date used to calculate the system restoration costs in subpart (a). The Co-applicants further request that the Commission issue as to each of the Companies an Order by which such financing and capital contribution may be accomplished (“Financing Order”). To finance these costs, the Co-Applicants propose to implement Financed Storm Cost Riders (Rider “FSC”) Rates for each of the FSC storm cost recovery groups, effective by billing on the first day of the first billing cycle of the next revenue month following the issuance date of the system restoration bonds. Based upon a system restoration bond issuance date of June 2, 2008, Rider FSC will be implemented with the first billing cycle of July 2008. The FSC Rates, as periodically adjusted, will continue in effect until all system restoration bonds shall have been paid in full and all financing costs of the system restoration bonds shall have been recovered in full. Consistent with the LPSC’s determination in Order No. U-29203-B, the calculation of the FSC Rates will apply to all rate classes, including the Special Contracted Rate customers and will be nonbypassable, which means that, with limited exception, all existing and future LPSC-jurisdictional ELL customers will be responsible for these charges. The FSC revenue to be recovered from ELL’s LPSC-jurisdictional customers on behalf of the LURC is estimated to be approximately $90.5 million annually over an expected term of approximately ten years. These amounts assume a June 2, 2008 issuance of system restoration bonds. If issuance of system restoration bonds occurs before June 2, 2008, carrying costs will be reduced resulting in a lower amount to be financed. Likewise if financing occurs after June 2, 2008, carrying costs will be increased resulting in a higher amount to be financed. Any insurance proceeds or governmental grants or aid reflecting permanent recovery of system restoration costs received before the issuance of the Financing Order would result in a reduction of the amount financed. Any such funds received after issuance of the Financing Order would not affect the amount financed. Rather, such funds, together with any interest earnings associated with those insurance proceeds or governmental grants or aid reflecting permanent recovery of system restoration costs received after the issuance of the Financing Order will be returned to customers of ELL through the Storm Cost Offset Rider (Rider “SCO”). Rider SCO is addressed in the Ancillary Application to which ELL and EGSL are Co-Applicants. Under ELL’s proposal, other adjustments required to compensate for certain costs or benefits relating to elements other than those relating to the financing transaction, including accumulated deferred income taxes, will be reflected in the Rider “SCO.” The first-year annual SCO effect for ELL is estimated to be a reduction to ELL’s LPSC-jurisdictional customersí bills of approximately $30.5 million. Using the method of allocation and rate design approved by the LPSC in Order No. U-29203-B and based upon the collective charges submitted in the Financing Application, currently ELL estimates that the system restoration charge, billed on behalf of the LURC, on the monthly electric bill of one of ELL’s LPSC-jurisdictional residential customers through proposed Rider FSC using 1,000 kWh will be $4.94 per month. ELL estimates that the system restoration charge, billed on behalf of the LURC, on the monthly electric bill through proposed Rider FSC for one of ELL’s LPSC-jurisdictional Small General Service customers using 30 kW and 5,000 kWh will be $36.69 per month and for one of ELL’s LPSC-jurisdictional Large General Service customers using 500 kW and 182,500 kWh will be $715.36 per month. Currently ELL estimates that the first year’s Rider SCO imposed on the monthly electric bill of one of its LPSC-jurisdictional residential customers through proposed Rider SCO using 1,000 kWh will be a credit of $1.59 per month, the first year’s Rider SCO imposed on the monthly electric bill of one of its LPSC-jurisdictional Small General Service customers using 30 kW and 5,000 kWh will be a credit of $11.81 per month, and the first year’s Rider SCO imposed on the monthly bill of one of its LPSC-jurisdictional Large General Service customers using 500 kW and 182,500 kWh will be a credit of $230.34 per month. In addition, contemporaneous with the effective date of Riders FSC and SCO, ELL will reduce its Rider FRP to reflect the removal of the amount of interim storm recovery and the amount of storm reserve recovery currently reflected in base rates, but which will be superseded by Riders FSC and SCO. Currently, ELL estimates that the reduction in Rider FRP relating to the two aforementioned items will be $2.30 per month for such a residential customer using 1,000 kWhs, $17.08 for a Small General Service customer using 30 kW and 5,000 kWh per month, and $333.01 for a Large General Service customer using 500 kW and 182,500 kWh per month. In sum, the total net effect of Riders FSC and SCO and the change in Rider FRP that is system restoration cost-related to an ELL LPSC-jurisdictional residential customer using 1,000 kWh is estimated to be $1.05 per month, an increase of 1.15%. The total net effect of Riders FSC and SCO and the change in Rider FRP that is system restoration cost-related to an ELL LPSC-jurisdictional Small General Service customer using 30 kW and 5,000 kWh is estimated to be $7.80 per month, an increase of 1.33%. The total net effect of Riders FSC and SCO and the change in Rider FRP that is system restoration cost-related to an ELL LPSC-jurisdictional Large General Service customer using 500 kW and 182,500 kWh is estimated to be $152.01 per month, an increase of 1.03%. The Co-Applicants’ Third and Fourth Supplemental and Amending Joint Applications, including proposed changes to the rates and charges, may be viewed in the Office of the Louisiana Public Service Commission in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
