Quick question for the group - I have a chemical plant in Louisiana with a cogeneration system selling power back to Entergy. The monthly credit calculation doesn't match what I think it should be based on their avoided cost tariff. They're getting about $0.04/kWh but I calculated it should be closer to $0.065/kWh. Anyone familiar with Entergy's cogen rates?
Entergy Louisiana - Cogeneration credit calculation seems wrong
Rachel - Entergy's avoided cost rates vary by time of day and season. Make sure you're using the right rate schedule and that the energy is being credited at the correct time periods. Also check if there are any standby charges or interconnection fees reducing the net credit.
Omar, good point about time-of-day variations. I was using an average rate but their exports are mostly during peak periods when avoided costs should be higher. Let me dig into the detailed calculations and see if that explains the discrepancy.
