Hurricane Ida power grid failure forces a reckoning over Entergy's monopoly in the South.

The project, which has become mired in litigation, hasn’t begun.

Entergy said in a statement that it advocated for its interests with MISO just like any other stakeholder and that it didn’t “have the power or authority” to stall MISO’s plans. The company said it has invested over $6 billion in new transmission projects since it joined MISO in December 2013. Entergy argued that it was paying too high a rate and that it was unfair for its other customers to essentially subsidize the cost of solar power. The company supported a rule,, that cut the savings for homeowners who installed solar panels by hundreds of dollars per year, according to the Gulf States Renewable Energy Industry Association.

Entergy has also blocked the more widespread adoption of solar power by fighting new transmission lines that would carry renewable energy into the company’s territory, said Simon Mahan, executive director of the Southern Renewable Energy Association.
