Carbon emission policy for New Orleans

In 2021, the New Orleans City Council adopted a Renewable and Clean Portfolio Standard with goals for Entergy New Orleans to achieve net carbon neutrality by 2040 and 100% carbon-free electric generation for New Orleans by 2050.

Every three years, Entergy New Orleans files an Integrated Resource Plan, as required by City Council rules. The company is also required to file a forward-looking, three-year RCPS compliance plan that is informed by the most recent IRP and is subject to review by the Council and interested parties. After each calendar year, Entergy New Orleans is required to file an RCPS Compliance Report that reviews actual results for the year.
