Notice
Notice is hereby given, pursuant to Article IV, Section 21(D)(1) of the Louisiana Constitution, that 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, filed with the Louisiana Public Service Commission (“LPSC” or the “Commission”), pursuant to Article IV, Section 21(D)(3) of the Louisiana Constitution and Title 45, Section 1163.1 of the Louisiana Revised Statutes, on March 15, 2010, pursuant to the LPSC Financing Order dated April 16, 2008, an adjustment to the Financed Storm Cost Rider (“Rider FSC”) and an adjustment to the Storm Cost Offset Rider (“Rider SCO”) that will go into effect the first billing cycle of April 2010 (March 31).
In conjunction with Act 55 of the Louisiana Legislature’s Regular Session of 2007, LPSC Order U-29203-F authorized the following: (1) approval and authorization for the LURC to finance, through the issuance of “system restoration bonds” by the Louisiana Public Facilities Authority (the “LPFA”), a contribution to ELL’s capital; (2) approval to 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 (3) approval of a tariff to implement the system restoration charges on behalf of the Corporation. Further, the Corporation and ELL received Commission authorization for the issuance of system restoration bonds in one or more series in an aggregate principal amount equal to the sum of: (a) $545,000,000 of system restoration costs, plus (b) the costs of funding storm damage reserves in the amount of $152,000,000 in a restricted escrow account, plus (c) issuance costs of $9,300,000. When rounded, these components resulted in a total issuance of $687,700,000.
To finance these costs, the Co-Applicants implemented Rider FSC Rates the first billing cycle of August 2008. The FSC Rates are adjusted at least semi-annually and will continue in effect until all system restoration bonds have been paid in full and all financing costs of the system restoration bonds shall have been recovered in full. Consistent with the LPSC ís determination in Order Nos. U-29203-B and U-29203-G, 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.
Any insurance proceeds or governmental grants or aid reflecting permanent recovery of system restoration costs received after issuance of the Financing Order, 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 Rider SCO. 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 and other savings pursuant to Act 55 Financing as provided for in Order U-29203-G, will be reflected in the Rider SCO. Ongoing, Rider SCO will be adjusted annually.
Using the method of allocation and rate design approved by the LPSC, the combined effect for ELL customers of the adjustments to Rider FSC and Rider SCO will be the following: A bill for Residential Service for 1,000 kWh would increase $0.76 from $99.45 to $100.21. A bill for Small General Service for 50 kW and 12,500 kWh would increase $11.31 from $1,377.41 to $1,388.72. A bill for Large General Service for 500 kW and 225,000 kWh would increase $124.32 from $19,086.64 to $19,210.96.
A copy of these rider schedules may be viewed in the Office of the Louisiana Public Service Commission in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
