Develop energy policies that help Louisiana companies remain competitive in a global market

Select their energy providers
Allow large energy users to select their energy providers to promote competitive pricing and cost efficiency.

Permit power wheeling
Permit access to the electrical grid for power wheeling between and among industrials. Companies should be allowed to wheel (or share electrical power) with an affiliate company site that may not be geographically located on the same site. Power wheeling promotes energy efficiency.

Retire inefficient power generation
Retire inefficient power generation and allow chemical companies and large industrial users to utilize independent power producers that employ more modern, efficient and environmentally friendly power generation.

Insure a robust distribution system
Insure a robust distribution system by improving, modernizing and expanding the power grid for more efficient and cost effective transmission of power.

Map natural gas supplier network
Map the natural gas supplier network and the value chain to identify most efficient use of resources during times of shortages.

Expand onshore and offshore access
Support Offshore State Options Act, provide state tax incentives and streamline regulations to encourage more drilling onshore Louisiana and in state water bottoms. Expand drilling access to domestic and offshore energy resources.

Make Louisiana a leader in LNG
Support and promote the creation of LNG terminals and fast track their approvals and construction.
