新奥尔良官员批评Delta公用事业公司的账单上和服务不佳, 称天然气价格升了56%, New Orleans officials criticized Delta Utilities over rising bills and poor service, citing a 56% gas price surge linked to increased U.S. LNG exports.

新奥尔良市委员会成员在2026年2月10日的一次会议上,就账单剧增和外联差向德尔塔公用事业公司提出了质疑。 New Orleans City Council members questioned Delta Utilities on sharply rising bills and poor outreach during a Feb. 10, 2026, meeting. 他们批评该公司不自动让前Entergy客户在分级账单中自动注册,并要求更清晰的账单和更好的沟通。 They criticized the company for not automatically enrolling former Entergy customers in levelized billing and called for clearer bills and better communication. 天然气价格上涨——去年上升了56%——与美国LNG出口增加有关,美国8个LNG设施中有6个在路易斯安那州。 Rising natural gas prices—up 56% in the past year—are tied to increased U.S. LNG exports, with six of eight U.S. LNG facilities in Louisiana. 美国能源信息机构预测,到2027年底价格将上涨25%,未来十年全球LNG出口将增长两倍,影响到天然气和电力用户,因为75%的Entergy电力来自天然气。 The U.S. Energy Information Agency projects a 25% price rise by late 2027 and a tripling of global LNG exports in the next decade, affecting both gas and electric customers, as 75% of Entergy’s power comes from natural gas. 倡导者敦促该市在持续的费用波动情况下减少对化石燃料的依赖。 Advocates urged the city to reduce fossil fuel dependence amid ongoing cost volatility.
