NOTICE
Notice is hereby given, pursuant to article IV, section 21(D)(1) of the Louisiana Constitution, that on September 20, 2024, CenterPoint Energy Entex, a Division of CenterPoint Energy Resources Corp., (“CNP”), a natural gas public utility having facilities to permit the local distribution of natural gas to residential and commercial customers in the parishes listed below, filed with the Louisiana Public Service Commission (“LPSC” or “Commission”) its Evaluation Report pursuant to its Gas Operation Rate Stabilization Plan (“RSP”) Rider for the test year ended June 30, 2024 (“TY 2024”), in accordance with LPSC Order No. U-36124. CNP’s Gas Operations RSP filing, if approved by the Commission as filed, will result in a rate increase of approximately $5.8 million annually inclusive of impacts due to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“TCJA”), effective as of December 19, 2024.
Affected Parishes: Acadia, Allen, Avoyelles, Beauregard, Calcasieu, Cameron, Evangeline, Iberia, Jefferson Davis, Lafayette, Rapides, St. Helena, St. Landry, St. Martin, St. Mary, St. Tammany, Tangipahoa, Vermilion, Vernon, and Washington
CNP’s RSP filing for the 2024 Test Year reflects an Earned Return on Equity (“EROE”) of 5.96% and pursuant to the RSP’s cost of service sharing mechanism, the EROE requires a rate adjustment by CNP. It is estimated that the requested net rate increase will have the following effect on average monthly bills: a Residential customer using 28 CCF will increase $3.25; and a Small Commercial-Firm Service customer using 149 CCF will increase $17.30.
For questions and comments please call the LPSC toll free at (800) 256-2397. Additionally, the Company’s filing and its attachments may be viewed in the Records Division of the LPSC at the following address:
