More than 400 Entergy Mississippi customers from the Cleveland and Greenville areas got out of the heat to learn how to beat the heat at the Bolivar County Expo Center in Cleveland earlier this month. Entergy partnered with local community advocate organization Boss Lady Economic Planning Development, led by Pam Chatman, to hold the half-day event. The customer engagement event showcased a variety of Entergy tools and programs that help customers manage energy usage and bills.

Extreme heat increases electricity use, causing power bills to rise and creating further strain on budgets. However, relief is available, even when there is no reprieve from the weather. We are proud that our employees, customers and shareholders join together to provide assistance for those who need it most through The Power to Care program.

A full field of 35 foursomes hit the links on April 22 to help provide emergency bill help for Entergy Mississippi’s most vulnerable customers. With a few donations arriving just before tee time, the four-man scramble raised $128,000, setting a high bar for Entergy Mississippi’s inaugural The Power to Care golf tournament and surpassing fundraising records for similar tournaments held in other states where Entergy operates.
