New Orleans' Renewable Portfolio Standard: Cost-Effective, Reliable, Resilient

Client: Alliance for Affordable Energy

Authors: Liz Stanton, PhD, Bryndis Woods, Eliandro Tavares and Sagal Alisalad

March 2020

Clinic Director and Senior Economist Liz Stanton, PhD, Researcher Bryndis Woods, and Assistant Researchers Eliandro Tavares and Sagal Alisalad prepared a report that addresses Entergy New Orleans’ (ENO) critiques of the Energy Future New Orleans Coalition's July 2019 Resilient Renewable Portfolio Standard (R-RPS) proposal to achieve a 100 percent renewable electric generation by 2040. ENO incorrectly claims that the R-RPS would: be prohibitively costly; harm grid resiliency, and harm grid reliability. AEC’s analysis of the R-RPS found the plan to be affordable, would provide substantial resiliency benefits, and would reliably provide New Orleans’ energy needs.
