Explanation

Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
Elster Integrated Solutions, LLC (Elster) seeks extension of special temporary authority to allow continued testing of equipment developed under contract with electrical generation company Entergy for purposes of monitoring electrical power usage by residential customers with significant discretion in power usage. The tests conducted under this STA will permit any necessary modifications to equipment design to be made prior to seeking equipment certification. This development project has been undertaken under the auspices of the public utility commission of Louisiana. The experimentation has faced delays and Entergy wishes to test the product in several seasons. Without an extension, Entergy and Elster will be forced to prematurely end the test.
