This is our home, too, and most of us at Entergy are customers just like you. We know it’s important to you that we deliver reliable power at an affordable price. In fact, we take this responsibility to heart and it’s more important than ever that our teams work diligently every day to help keep your bills as low as possible.
Your energy costs at the lowest possible price: 20% below the national average
Whether you’re a grocery store owner, a school administrator, managing your household’s expenses, or overseeing a hospital or manufacturing plant, we understand that every dollar in your budget matters. That’s why we’re proud to say last year our rates were 20% below the national average.
7 cost-saving actions we’re taking today to stay below the national average
- Protecting your bills: Our rates are frequently evaluated by our regulators, the Mississippi Public Service Commission, who determine electricity rates for our customers. The Commission recently approved our plan to keep our rates steady throughout the summer, because we know that higher temperatures create higher usage and higher bills.
- Recruiting new power partners: By bringing new, large customers into our service area we not only help create new jobs and dollars for the state, but we also create a framework that lessens the burden for our residential customers across Mississippi.
- Building an all of the above generation mix: Using a diverse range of power sources makes our system more reliable, efficient and cost effective for customers.
- Modernizing our generation fleet: Modern technologies equal better efficiency, and new power generation sources are in our plans. This will allow us to bring cleaner, more efficient and more cost-effective power generation to Mississippi. And it offers us the flexibility to lessen the impact on your bills should one fuel source spikes in price.
- Managing fuel costs: We’re in a constant state of trying to procure fuel at the lowest price available. Fuel costs are never marked up, so customers pay exactly what we pay. Also, having a variety of power sources helps shield customers from fuel price fluctuations and enhances grid reliability.
- Putting money back in your pockets: During the 2024 tax season, Entergy helped low-income customers across our service area receive $55 million in federal tax returns. We help customers save additional dollars through other federal funding resources including LIHEAP and Single Stop, and we offer The Power to Care – our long-held bill assistance program for qualifying customers.
- Offering bill support: Our Bill Toolkit provides customers resources and available assistance options to help them more easily manage their energy bill. Whether you have questions about your bill, need more time to pay or are looking for assistance, our one-stop shop connects you to available programs and services.
Entergy Mississippi is invested in you in more ways than one. Our 2,500 employees across the state are your neighbors, your friends, your family. This is the place we happily call home just like you. As every day expenses continue to become more and more costly, as inflation rises, we remain focused on the impact of our customers’ bills.
