The Louisiana Public Service Commission approved Entergy Louisiana's "Future Ready Resilience Plan" on Friday, meaning customers in the state will be paying more on their bills over the next five years.
Louisiana has the highest percentage of residents who have been unable to pay the full amount of their energy bill at least once in the last 12 months, according to a new report from HelpAdvisor.com.
Entergy Louisiana announced earlier this week the suspension of all disconnections for the duration of Governor John Bel Edwards' declared heat emergency through September 9.
