“It comes down to credibility.”
The project, which has become mired in litigation, hasn’t begun.
Entergy said in a statement that it advocated for its interests with MISO just like any other stakeholder and that it didn’t “have the power or authority” to stall MISO’s plans. The company said it has invested over $6 billion in new transmission projects since it joined MISO in December 2013. Entergy argued that it was paying too high a rate and that it was unfair for its other customers to essentially subsidize the cost of solar power. The company supported a rule,, that cut the savings for homeowners who installed solar panels by hundreds of dollars per year, according to the Gulf States Renewable Energy Industry Association.
“If we had a more robust large-scale transmission of solar across Louisiana and into Texas, you’d just have another tool to prevent major power outages,” Mahan said. “You could have had more lines serving New Orleans.”
