PRODUCT SUMMARY

OpCo Focus: All Jurisdictions, with current focus on Entergy Texas and Entergy Louisiana

Developing customized decarbonization and sustainability solutions for our commercial and industrial customers.

EARLY LEARNINGS

H-E-B in Texas - continued and frequent engagement yield valuable insight for product development as customer has a desire to control renewable solutions on their site to lower their energy costs and manage against increasing transmission and distribution infrastructure costs

Still looking at ways to incorporate battery and other sustainable solutions down the line

Continue to understand the impact of potential product construct and strategy on current and prior filings is essential

Leveraging lessons learned from other products across segments can help to mitigate risk:

  • Understand the impact of adding rooftop solar to commercial insurance policies so we can incorporate into customer perspective of the service offering
  • Storm damage to rooftop and panel impact during Ida needs to be incorporated into risk mitigation strategy including in maintenance agreement with vendor

CURRENT PROGRESS

The product team completed market opportunity analysis and are meeting with OpCos and other stakeholders to review market opportunity. The Product Owner, Commercial Operations, Commercial Legal and Commercial Real Estate review vendor contract terms for pilot with H-E-B.

NEXT STEPS

The teams are working to complete the execution of contractual agreements between the parties, dependent upon alignment of terms between the 3 parties. The product team is meeting with OpCo CSVP teams to present target market and specific customers who qualify for financial benefits. The team is asking for C&I customers to solicit product interest to validate offering. The team is working with OpCo Resource Planning teams to review the target market MWs that can be supplied to grid with C&I Rooftop Solar.
