Bill Payment Information
Entergy Arkansas, LLC is continuing suspension of disconnections for nonpayment until further notice. However, this does not eliminate the requirement that utility customers should continue paying their bills.
Customers who are able should pay their bills to keep the balance from accumulating to an unmanageable level. They are ultimately responsible for the utility services accrued during this suspension, as noted by an order from the Arkansas Public Service Commission.
If you cannot pay your bill in full, please contact Entergy at 1-800-ENTERGY (1-800-368-3749) for assistance with payment arrangements. This order does not include disconnections unrelated to nonpayment. This can also be done through myEntergy.
There are also additional bill payment assistance programs that can help. The federally funded Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) helps low-income households meet their home energy costs by making payments on a customer’s behalf directly to energy suppliers. There is also The Power to Care, an Entergy Arkansas program that helps senior citizens and customers with disabilities pay their utility bills. Other flexible payment options such as level billing and pick-a-date can be found at entergy-arkansas.com.
