NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The electric company subsidiary that provides electricity to New Orleans is responding to calls for an investigation of power losses during Hurricane Ida with options that include having the city assume control of municipal electrical service. That’s one of four options Entergy New Orleans outlined Tuesday in a statement as it prepared for discussions with the City Council.

The council’s utility committee is scheduled to meet Wednesday.
