Five ways Entergy is working to make your power bill one less thing to worry about

Like most things these days, the material costs related to generating and delivering your power have gone up recently. Almost 70% of the energy produced by Entergy Mississippi comes from natural gas which has seen its pricing double over the last year and become much more volatile. Since our costs to buy natural gas are passed through to customers (with no profit to the company), customer bills have gone up as a result. While our customer rates are still below the U.S. average, Entergy Mississippi is taking real action to keep this and other inflationary business cost increases from making your power bill unaffordable. Here are just five of the steps we have taken:

Historic Winter Storm Reveals Value of Teamwork

February’s historic winter storm was the worst such event to hit Mississippi in 25 years. The two waves of frozen precipitation, long-lasting, record cold and large area of impact made it one of Entergy’s most challenging power generation and power restoration events on record. More than 90,000 Mississippi customers lost power due to the weather.

Electric Companies Can Close the Digital Divide

Because of COVID-19, children in American cities and suburbs are attending school at home through a laptop. Regrettably, other students across rural America cannot watch their instructors’ lessons because there is no broadband access. This pandemic has brought into clear focus how much we all depend on the Internet and the urban versus rural disparity of those connections.

Entergy Mississippi: Here When You Need Us – Especially Now

The men and women of Entergy Mississippi are always here when our state needs us – and that is even more true in times like this. That is why in addition to providing safe, reliable and affordable electricity to those sheltering in place at home during the peak of a spring storm season, our people are also working on solutions to help our customers and communities hurt by the financial hardship brought about during the COVID-19 pandemic.
