Appliance Saturation Rates
In 2009, GCR Associates was contracted by Entergy New Orleans to complete a Residential Appliance
Saturation Survey (RASS) 1 as a part of a larger baseline assessment for the residential sector. While the
results of this are nearly five years old, it is the most recent published data set for the region.
The study found that in the post Katrina period, average household energy use has declined by about
9% when compared to pre-Katrina patterns. The greatest reductions in energy use are recorded in
neighborhoods that were heavily flooded. New building codes and the replacement of older appliances
with newer more efficient models have resulted in lower levels of energy consumption in the post
Katrina era. This implies that the flood spurred a large onset of appliance replacements.
Commercial and Industrial Market Profile
The following tables show electric sales and customer account data for a five year period beginning in
2014. The C&I Section also include municipal accounts. Accounts are ordered by rate class, the two
main categories being small and large, which are separated by those under and over a 100 kW threshold
respectively. The remaining rate classes are for high-usage customers, various end-use specific rate
classes (e.g. security lighting), master metered spaces, and other miscellaneous categories.
Forecasted C&I Customer Sales
In all three sectors, large customers account for the majority of sales, and the majority of growth in
sales. These forecasts are made absent the effects of DSM. [Source: 2012 ENO IRP and ENO FERC
