Notice
Notice is hereby given, pursuant to Article IV, Section 21(D)(1) of the Louisiana Constitution, that on July 29, 2011, Entergy Louisiana, LLC (“ELL”) an electric public utility providing retail electric service to customers in forty-six (46) Parishes of the State of Louisiana, re-filed with the Louisiana Public Service Commission (“LPSC”) its Formula Rate Plan (“FRP”) Rider Evaluation Report for the test year ended December 31, 2010. ELL is re-filing the Test Year 2010 FRP Evaluation Report, previously filed on May 13, 2011 and assigned to LPSC Docket No. U-31944, solely to cure a publication of legal notice error that occurred in five parishes in which ELL operates. There are no changes between the FRP Evaluation Report filed in May 2011 versus what was filed July 29, 2011.
ELL’s FRP has a target return on equity (“ROE”) of 10.25% with a plus or minus 80 basis point deadband. The 2010 test year is the final year of the currently approved FRP and ELL requests that the LPSC consider a renewal/extension of the FRP in this proceeding. ELL’s FRP 2010 test year filing reflects an EROE of 11.07%. Because the earned ROE is within 5 basis points outside of the deadband, the sharing mechanism in the ELL FRP provides that no cost of service rate change is required. ELL has, however, reflected an adjustment to Rider FRP revenues outside of the FRP sharing mechanism for an increase of approximately $8.755 thousand to reflect a change in the Additional Capacity Revenue Requirement pursuant to LPSC Special Order 42-2009.
Notwithstanding the slight increase in the Additional Capacity revenue requirement reflected in the filing, if the Commission approves the 2010 test year as filed, customer rates will actually decrease slightly due to the mechanism used to annualize rates. It is estimated that the proposed net increase of $8.755 thousand will have the following effects upon ELL customers’ bills based upon May 2011 Fuel Adjustment and Environmental Adjustment Charges. A bill for Residential Service for 1,000 kWh would decrease $0.02 from $97.19 to $97.17. A bill for Small General Service for 12,500 kWh would decrease $0.18 from $1,328.14 to $1,327.96. A bill for Large General Service for 1,000 kW and 500,000 kWh would decrease $4.09 from $37,536.56 to $37,532.47.
For questions and comments please call the LPSC toll free at (800) 256-2397. Additionally, the Company’s filing and its attachments may be viewed in the Records Division of the LPSC at the following address:
