VERIFIED AGAINST ENTERGY'S OWN ITEMISED SAMPLE BILL. Entergy publishes a 1,000 kWh sample for each operating company listing every schedule with its rate and a total, linked from the company's /residential/price page. These figures reconstruct it to the cent, and the build script refuses to write this file if they stop doing so.
PUBLISHED RIDER IS NOT THE SAME AS RIDER ON THE BILL. An Entergy tariff index lists dozens of schedules; roughly a dozen reach a residential bill. The rest are other classes, other programmes, enrolment-only credits, or dormant filings left on file at zero. Nothing in the index distinguishes them, which is why the sample bill is the source of truth for WHICH schedules apply and the tariff sheets only for their values.
TWO PERCENTAGE RIDERS, TWO DIFFERENT BASES. Six riders totalling 18.462305% apply to the customer charge plus the energy charge. Rider EFRP (31.3861%) applies to the ENERGY CHARGE ALONE - EFRP-7 section II.C.4 says the residential percentage 'shall not be applied to the customer charge', and its exclusion list names 'RES Customer Charges' explicitly. Applying EFRP to the full base instead would add $2.21 a month.
RIDER R-3 IS A DIVISOR, NOT AN ADDER, despite being printed on the bill as a 'Retail Rate Adder'. It is a gross-up for the City of New Orleans street use franchise fee: every other charge is divided by (1 - 0.05). Adding 5% instead of dividing by 0.95 gets you $148.47 against the published $148.84 - close enough to look right and still wrong.
THE FIFTEENTH WARD PAYS A DIFFERENT FRANCHISE FEE. Algiers is 2% under Ordinances 30,747 and 30,748 rather than the citywide 5%, and Entergy publishes a separate sample bill for it. NOT ENCODED as a second tariff, because the Algiers sheet is drawn for July and there is no published Fifteenth Ward bill for the same month as this encoding. A Fifteenth Ward customer pays roughly $4.55 less on 1,000 kWh. Note that the Algiers sheet is titled 'with BRAR Rider' and contains no BRAR line - the franchise fee is the only difference.
REGULATED BY THE NEW ORLEANS CITY COUNCIL, not the Louisiana Public Service Commission - the only municipally regulated investor-owned electric utility in the United States. Entergy Louisiana surrounds it and files an entirely separate tariff with a different structure, so the two must not be conflated.
SIX PUBLISHED RIDERS DO NOT REACH THIS BILL. Rider SSCR (Hurricane Isaac recovery) is dormant at 0.0000% - not offsetting, just zero. Rider BRAR is 0.000% in every filed period. Rider IRAR-E applied only to April, May and June 2020 and is expired. Rider RSHCR is recovered through the EFRP percentage rather than billed as a line. Rider AMO is an opt-out fee. The Green Power Option is voluntary.
A DECLINING WINTER BLOCK at 800 kWh: November-April, kWh above 800 bill at 6.317c against 7.956c below it. Summer, May-October, has no tier. Entergy Texas does the same at 1,000 kWh and Entergy Arkansas at 1,000 kWh, but Arkansas also INCLINES in summer while this does not.
MULTI-UNIT BUILDINGS ON ONE METER ARE BILLED PER DWELLING. RES-25 section II multiplies the customer charge, each energy block and the minimum bill by the number of dwelling units. Not modelled - this encoding assumes one dwelling per meter.
THE FUEL ADJUSTMENT AND THE PURCHASED POWER RIDER BOTH RESET MONTHLY, and over the twenty-four months on file the fuel adjustment has ranged from 0.751c to 3.699c per kWh and the residential purchased power rider from -7.89% to +7.64%. Rider EFRP resets each September. No encoding of New Orleans is current for more than about four weeks.
Residential electricity in Orleans Parish carries no state sales tax (La. R.S. 47:305(D)(1)(d)) and no parish sales tax (New Orleans Code section 150-521), so unlike the other four companies the published 'before taxes' total is what a customer actually pays.
The sample bill prints Rider RPCEA at -$0.0002000 per kWh but shows an amount of $0.00, and the printed subtotal is consistent with $0.00 rather than -$0.20. Encoded as zero, matching the rider's own Attachment A. If the rate string is right instead, this rate is 0.021c/kWh high.
Entergy's operating companies are vertically integrated and state-regulated (New Orleans by the City Council), so a bundled residential rate exists here. That is not true of Oncor and CenterPoint elsewhere in Texas, which are wires-only and sell no energy.
