Utility welcomes results, pledges to review findings

Jackson, Miss. – An independent audit commissioned by the Mississippi Public Service Commission shows many of Entergy Mississippi, Inc.’s fuel procurement and adjustment practices are sound and in customers’ best interests.

Entergy Mississippi regards the report as an important assessment of the company’s business practices and pledges to review it carefully. The report was conducted by noted independent energy expert Walter Drabinksi, president of Vantage Consulting, Inc. and a 27-year veteran of the energy and utility industry.

“Overall, we’re encouraged by the findings,” said Dorman Davis, manager of regulatory affairs for Entergy Mississippi, Inc. “The way we project fuel costs and true up fuel cost recoveries, provide the commission with sufficient fuel filing data and plan for Mississippi’s future energy needs were all noted as practices that serve our customers well.”

“We’ll pay careful attention to the report’s critique of our method for recovering fuel costs,” said Davis. “Matters like these are under consideration at the commission and we’ll continue to fully support their review.”

Davis added that Entergy Mississippi views inquiries into its practices as an opportunity to demonstrate its level of commitment and compliance to the regulatory process.

“This report shows the importance of review and analysis of the business practices of Mississippi utilities, as is conducted by the independent experts on the Mississippi Public Utilities Staff, as well as the commissioners,” he said.
