Disconnects for nonpayment to resume in May; payment plans available.

Bill Payment Information 

The Arkansas Public Service Commission ordered the lifting of the moratorium on disconnections for nonpayment, beginning May 3.

A moratorium on disconnects for nonpayment lasted more than a year since the COVID-19 pandemic began. Customers who are were unable to pay their bills during this time 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.
