Feds OK Breakup to Cut Power Costs in Arkansas
posted 11/19/09

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission on Thursday accepted requests by Entergy Arkansas and Entergy Mississippi to leave a pact with Entergy companies in Louisiana and Texas. Entergy Arkansas plans to exit in December 2013 while Entergy Mississippi wants to leave in 2015.
Regulators in Arkansas worried the system agreement could cost its ratepayers millions of dollars through a rate-equalization plan - while perhaps lowering costs in Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas.
Other companies in the pact are Entergy Gulf States Louisiana, Entergy Louisiana, Entergy Texas and Entergy New Orleans.

Yea why should we be paying higher rates when other states are getting it cheaper. Arkansas has its own power plants, why are we sharing it across the boarder?
