From WROX:
Mississippi attorney general Jim Hood wants a judge to order the state’s largest private utility to repay more than $1 billion he says Entergy Mississippi overcharged customers. Entergy says it’s done nothing wrong that the dispute belongs before a regulator, not a judge. Federal judge Carlton Reeves began hearing the case yesterday in Jackson. Hood says Entergy should have bought cheaper electricity from third parties for its nearly half-million Mississippi customers, but Entergy says it needed to generate power from its own plants, even if they were expensive to run, to handle fluctuations in power supplies.
