The Energy Future New Orleans coalition is calling for greater transparency and accountability from Entergy New Orleans (ENO) following the utility’s response to Hurricane Francine.
In a letter addressed to the New Orleans City Council and sent on October 10, EFNO expressed concerns that “ENO still has not provided an estimate of storm recovery costs from Francine” and the impact those costs could have on residents, who are already struggling with historically high bills. |

Access to sources of heat, light, and water are vital necessities and have been considered sacred in cultures across the globe and throughout time.
Now, in many places, these critical resources are controlled by private, for-profit corporations that place the interest of their shareholders over their obligation to provide affordable, reliable service to their ratepayers. We are urging the New Orleans City Council to declare utility access a human right and to adopt policies – such as a prohibition on residential disconnections for inability to pay – that protect our communities. |
