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.

Freezing temperatures are expected to impact Mississippi next week, kicking heaters and energy consumption into high gear. Fortunately, Entergy Mississippi customers can stay warm while managing energy usage and costs by making their homes more energy efficient.
