La. power rates low compared to neighbors, but storms and fuel are pushing costs up

Sun, 08/14/2022 - 3:09pm
VICTOR SKINNER, The Center Square

Louisiana energy prices are similar to neighboring states, but rising fuel prices and damage from recent storms is driving up costs for homeowners this year.

The most recent data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration shows Louisiana’s average retail price of 7.51 cents per kilowatt hour in 2020 is below Texas’ 8.36 cents, Arkansas’ rate of 8.32 cents, and Mississippi’s 9.13 cent rate. Revised data is expected in December.

Those figures run behind the national average of 10.59 cents per kilowatt hour for the same year.

Rising natural gas prices and damage from hurricanes Laura, Delta, Zeta and Ida, as well as Winter Storm Uri, are pushing up prices in Louisiana, resulting in significant increases in customers’ bills this summer.

Entergy explained in a letter to customers in June the company added $15 per month to their bills that month through a fuel adjustment approved by the Louisiana Public Service Commission. The added cost was reduced from a $25 per month increase by deferring $10 per month into the future.

The increase is on top of a roughly $10 monthly increase for the average 1,000 kilowatt hour customer that was added to bills to recover costs associated with storm repairs.

"Our team worked hand-in-hand with the Commission to help mitigate the impact of those restoration charges on our customers. After a thorough review, the LPSC approved earlier this year our plan to securitize those funds and spread those costs over a 15-year span, ensuring that our customers will pay the lowest possible price and incur a smaller burden per month on their bills," the letter to customers read.

The roughly $25 per month increase in fees will affect roughly 1.1 million customers in 58 parishes, while similar increases are expected from Entergy New Orleans, which is regulated by the New Orleans City Council.

The increases come despite criticism from the PSC regarding the company’s operations. PSC Commissioner Foster Campbell confronted Entergy CEO Leo Denault about the company’s increasing profits, $1.2 billion in dividends paid to shareholders last year, and Denault’s recent $1 million pay raise during a meeting in May.

Campbell requested Entergy chip in $400 million toward storm repairs, instead of passing the entire cost on to customers, but Denault refused.

Landon Stevens, director of policy and advocacy at the Conservative Energy Network, said the annual rate increases stem in large part from the near monopoly energy companies have on the market in Louisiana and other states.

The situation allows the companies to recoup rising fuel costs and other expenses to produce electricity directly from ratepayers, though Entergy is prohibited from profiting from the recovery.

"If you look at a state like Texas where it's open to retail competition, the customers don't pay for that," Stevens said.

Entergy is recovering about $5 billion in storm damages alone.

The Conservative Energy Network studies ways Louisiana and other states could create a more competitive market to drive down costs for users, such as the report, The State of Electric Competition in the United States of America, released in June 2021.

A scorecard associated with that study gives Louisiana a failing grade for electric competition.

Inflation Reduction Act promises to keep royalties flowing, but critics say there's a cost

Sun, 08/14/2022 - 3:06pm
VICTOR SKINNER, The Center Square

The measure called by supporters the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 and approved by the U.S. House on Friday could bring some relief to Louisiana parishes that rely on oil and gas leases to fund coastal restoration work. But industry experts contend the legislation will create higher costs for consumers.

The act includes provisions to require four oil and gas lease sales in the Gulf of Mexico that could generate millions in revenues for states through the Gulf of Mexico Energy Security Act, which was created by Congress in 2006 to share leasing revenues with Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas for coastal conservation, restoration and hurricane protection.

The development comes as the Department of Interior is vetting a draft plan for proposed lease sales for the outer continental shelf for the next five years, which will replace an Obama-era plan that was implemented in 2017 and expired in July.

The proposed plan is raising concerns from lawmakers and coastal communities that rely on GOMESA funds because it stipulates "no more than 10 potential sales in the Gulf of Mexico" that could be "further refined and targeted, based on public input and analysis" to "include fewer lease sales, including no lease sales." Public comment on the proposal runs until Oct. 6.

The potential to end offshore drilling is consistent with President Biden’s campaign promises and the delay in renewing the five-year plan means no new leases would be possible without congressional action until it’s finalized, said Gifford Briggs, Gulf Coast region director for the American Petroleum Institute.

"Many of these projects in the Gulf of Mexico are 5-7 years" in the making, he said, which means without new leases GOMESA revenues would begin to die off around 2027 or 2028.

Briggs noted that "there’s also a lot of jobs from Louisiana’s standpoint that are tied up in that 7 year window" that would go away without a new plan that includes new leases.

The most recent 2022 GOMESA disbursements from the Office of Natural Resources Revenue included nearly $34.8 million for Alabama, $111.8 million for Louisiana, $36.7 million for Mississippi and $68.8 million for Texas. While the bulk of the funding goes to the states, large sums are also distributed directly to coastal parishes or counties.

GOMESA funds helped finance the $80 million Bayou Chene Flood Control Structure completed last month and helped restore 1,080 acres of barrier islands in Terrebonne and Lafourche parishes, such as Trinity Island-East in the Isles Dernieres refuge.

In 2022, Terrebonne Parish received $1.6 million, money Terrebonne Coastal Restoration Director Mart Black said goes toward paying off a bond that has funded critical coastal preservation and hurricane protection work in the community.

Combined with funds from a BP oil spill settlement, the funding has gone toward critical work preserving coastal wetlands, rebuilding barrier islands, constructing levees and constructing water controls to prevent saltwater intrusion that kills freshwater bayous, he said.

"These coastal restoration projects cost millions of dollars, hundreds of millions to rebuild islands," Black said.

With funding from the oil spill phasing out in coming years, GOMESA funding will become even more important, he said.

"In a decade or so if there are no more leases for offshore drilling, things could be a little tough," Black said, adding that pending legislation in Congress could add wind energy revenues to GOMESA and lift a cap on revenue sharing with states. "We want to increase those revenues, it’s important to us."

While the IRA could help toward that end after being approved by the House as it is now, it would come with $739 billion in taxes that will ultimately drive up expenses for Americans, according to API.

The bill includes a tax of 16.4 cents for each barrel of crude oil and imported petroleum, a new 15% minimum tax on billion-dollar corporations, new taxes on U.S. oil and natural gas companies, increased rental fees for onshore leases and tax credits for electric vehicles, all of which will come at a cost to taxpayers.

"The IRA could open the door to more federal onshore and offshore lease sales and expand credits for carbon capture, which is encouraging for the oil and natural gas industry," Lem Smith, API vice president for federal regulations, wrote in an analysis this week.

But "IRA policies that raise taxes and discourage ongoing investment in U.S. oil and natural gas are ill-advised," he wrote. "Amid a global energy crisis, too many provisions fail to address the questions many American families are asking."

Berwick remains at center of remap debate

Fri, 08/12/2022 - 10:34am
Staff Report

Berwick once more finds itself at the center of a redistricting debate.
A meeting to talk about new districts for the St. Mary Parish Council, scheduled for the hour before the council’s regular second-Wednesday meeting, went into overtime as members talked about what will happen, mostly to Berwick, when new maps are drawn.
The discussion ended with plans for more discussion.
The Parish Council has 11 members, three of whom are elected at large. The other eight run from geographic districts that must be redrawn based on Census 2020 results. The council has hired the South Central Regional Planning and Development Commission to develop plans to be voted on.
The job doesn’t have to be done until August 2023, and no final plan has been adopted. But the commission staff presented three alternatives.
The proposals west of the Calumet Cut haven’t been a source of much wrangling. The three council members representing west St. Mary — the Rev. Craig Mathews, J Ina and Rodney Olander — have settled on one of the alternatives. It extends Mathews’ District 1, currently the westernmost district, to Verdunville.
That alternative makes District 1 less compact, but it also increases the African American majorities in Districts 1 and 2. Protecting minority voting strength is one of the goals redistricting must achieve under the 1965 Voting Rights Act.
The redistricting discussion has become more contentious in east St. Mary, especially in Berwick.
Berwick is currently split among three council districts: Patrick Hebert’s District 6, which extends from Berwick into Morgan City; Mark Duhon’s District 8, which extends from Amelia through Morgan City and across the Atchafalaya into Berwick; and Scott Ramsey’s District 4, which picks up a small piece of Berwick’s northwest side.
Under the new redistricting proposals, Alternative 2 would give Duhon even more of Berwick. Alternative 3 would keep his district east of the river while creating a more compact district in Berwick.
Duhon hopes to keep a portion of his district in Berwick, where he has said he has won 60% of the vote, indicating that residents are satisfied with his representation. And the council has adopted Alternative 2 as a basis for further discussion.
But Hebert has been seeking support for the more compact district in Alternative 3, and he has found it on the Berwick Town Council.
“I really think we’re making a mistake by cutting the town like we are,” said Mayor Duval Arthur, who came to Wednesday’s meeting accompanied by Town Council members.
Later, the normally soft-spoken Arthur said, “I’ve got a lot of things to say. I might lose my temper. ...”
Town Council member Colleen Askew said she wants to know why the Parish Council wouldn’t go with the more compact Berwick district.
“I have no clear answer,” Askew said.
“There is no good reason,” said Parish President David Hanagriff.
Hanagriff implied that Duhon would rather have Riverside voters in Berwick than Lakeside Subdivision voters in Morgan City. Duhon’s district would pick up Lakeside under Alternative 3.
When the discussion turned to the minority population in the proposed districts, Ina objected.
“Let’s not use the minority population as a calculated pretext to evoke emotion ...,” Ina said. “I want to help you guys but don’t use minorities. I take offense to that.”
Hebert said his goal “is to keep Berwick whole and one. ... I don’t care what you give me in Morgan City ... just as long as I have 100% of Berwick.”
Council members affected by possible plans for District 6 talked about getting together for more discussion.

Classes resume for public schools, Central Catholic

Fri, 08/12/2022 - 10:32am
Staff Report

Summer ended for students this week when the 2022-23 school year began on Monday for Central Catholic students and on Wednesday for public schools.
St. Mary Parish Superintendent Dr. Teresa Bagwell said that overall, the resumption of classes was “very successful.”
“In the schools I visited, students were welcomed by a ‘red carpet’ entrance, a ‘pep rally’ to welcome them back, and very eager teachers waiting for their arrival,” Bagwell said in an email.
“Students were provided with breakfast this morning as part of our Breakfast in the Classroom program. Local law enforcement were present monitoring school zones to help ensure the safe arrival and traffic flow into school parking areas.”
This year promises to be the closest thing to normal students have seen on the first day of school since 2019 after two years of COVID-19 restrictions and remote learning.
“We are very much looking forward to a return of normalcy and the ability to host activities for students and parents that has been a part of the traditional school experience,” Bagwell said.
“Additionally, several schools reported an uptick in the number of student enrollments in the week just prior to the first day of school. As you know, the first day is always exciting as educators plan for months to prepare for the upcoming year and a new classroom of students.”
Key dates for the coming public school year:
—Oct. 10-11, fall break.
—Nov. 21-25, Thanksgiving break.
—Dec. 21-Jan. 6, Christmas break.
—Feb. 20-24, Mardi Gras break.
—April 7-14, Easter break.
—May 11-12, high school graduations.
—May 25, last day of classes for students.
