Entergy Louisiana is committed to providing its customers with reliable service at the lowest reasonable cost. Resource planning is an important process we employ to help achieve that goal. Resource planning takes into account estimates of customers’ future energy needs and the resources available to serve those needs.

For many years, we have developed resource plans to assist in deciding how to serve our customers. In 2007, the Louisiana Public Service Commission opened a rulemaking process to study the feasibility of uniform resource planning rules for all jurisdictional utilities. Entergy Louisiana actively participated in the rulemaking, which resulted in the issuance of a Commission General Order and Integrated Resource Planning Rules in April 2012.

In accordance with those IRP Rules, we initiated the 2015, 2019, and 2023 IRP processes in October 2013, October 2017, and October 2021, respectively. Throughout each of those three cycles, Entergy Louisiana, LPSC Staff, and stakeholders worked through a collaborative process that resulted in our final 2015, 2019, and 2023 IRP Reports and the LPSC’s acknowledgement that these final reports met the requirements of the IRP Rules.
