Entergy Mississippi is seeking a hearing before the state Public Service Commission to contest the panel’s resolution last week allowing Attorney General Jim Hood access to records.
“We’re disappointed the commission and the attorney general didn’t give us an opportunity to be heard before issuing this unprecedented resolution,” Haley Fisackerly, president and CEO of Entergy Mississippi, said in a statement.
“(It’s) just a way of trying to stall the inevitable,” Hood said Monday evening. “When the PSC tells them, ‘Give it to the attorney general,’ they say, ‘We don’t want to do it.’ ”
Hood has alleged the power company buys fuel and power from other Entergy subsidiaries at a higher price than it could on the open market and then passes those costs along to customers. Hood had filed suit to obtain the records.
