Hi Michael!
I hope its not too late for your deadline, but I was able to get the following statement approved in response to the line of questions you had posed to Entergy New Orleans:

There are errors in the calculation provided that causes it to be overstated. The calculation also fails to account for the energy produced and capacity made available by NOPS and sold into the market, which will
even further reduce the costs to customers. NOPS is designed to help prevent blackouts, provide much needed local generation and self-start capability during a hurricane, reduce reliance on transmission, protect
against volatile energy markets, and serve as a foundation for more emissions-free renewable resources while still maintaining reliability. These material benefits are also not considered in the calculation

provided.
