The commission hired,” reports Wes Muller in Louisiana Illuminator.
“London Economics International to help understand long-term assessments being performed by Entergy Louisiana LLC and Cleco Power, despite previous objections raised by Commissioner Eric Skrmetta, R-Metairie. Utility companies use these assessments to plan for future energy needs and presumably to inform regulatory requests.”
