Get StartedWe can also: Take advantage of our gulf coast to drive investment in offshore wind where it makes sense. Make solar energy adoption easier for both businesses and residences. Ensure users have simple and fair access to credits for adoption of clean energy solutions like home solar panel installation. Bolster the existing grid so that the lights stay on by making utilities repair their aging infrastructure, and requiring them to provide greater transparency on how and when they are making changes to the grid.

Require utilities to commit to greater investment in renewables, and also make them provide a detailed plan and timeline to the public for making those investments happen. Solar and wind energy become cheaper by the day, and diversifying our power generation mix can create a more stable grid. Learn more
I’ll also push for a system of improved credits/reimbursements to customers whose service goes out during our now increasingly frequent outages. This way, you will no longer have to take time out of your day to pursue your electric company for disruptions in service when other stressful events are occurring. Learn more
Hold utilities accountable through performance-based regulations (PBRs). Learn more
Invest in renewable energy to create a broader mix of power generation. Entergy is heavily reliant on natural gas to create electricity, making bills very susceptible to price fluctuations. By diversifying where our power comes from, we drive down costs for ratepayers while also creating a more reliable grid. New battery technology is making renewables more stable and capable of providing strong, stable base load to the grid. Learn more
Make Entergy and other utilities pay more. I’ll require utilities to absorb more of the costs of new projects, rather than using them as an opportunity to price gouge residents. Learn more
Going further, I’ll require utilities regulated by the PSC to publicly submit their action plans on how they’ll mitigate damage from future hurricanes and natural disaster events — and specifically, how they’ll plan to restore service in the event of outages. Learn more
With PBRs, we can make them adopt solutions that bolster our grid, diversify how we generate our power, and better set us up for the future. Learn more
Other areas of reform I’m interested in are bringing back 1:1 net metering across the state, and lowering the cost of prison phone calls. Learn more
