Louisiana's Public Service Commission (PSC) is considering a proposal for a 20-cent monthly fee, labeled a "nuclear tariff," on electricity bills for Entergy Louisiana, Cleco, and SWEPCO customers. The funds would enable these utility companies to conduct feasibility studies and early-stage work for small modular nuclear reactors and microreactors. The PSC postponed a vote on the tariff until September 16, with some commissioners expressing concerns about ratepayers bearing the research costs.
