As the anticipated summer heat wave will cause customers to increase their energy usage, the Mississippi Public Service Commission has approved Entergy Mississippi’s annual rate plan to keep energy rates stable and bills 20% below the national average.

nA groundbreaking ceremony for Entergy Mississippi's newly announced Delta Blues Advanced Power Station was held recently in Greenville, along with recognition of the 50th anniversary of the Gerald Andrus Steam Electric Station. Gerald Andrus will be retired when the new plant comes online in 2028.

Across the nation, electricity demand forecasts are increasing, driven by economic development and our society’s ever-increasing dependency on technology. The growth opportunities we have before us in Mississippi rely on many key outcomes, but the one I’m most excited about is Entergy Mississippi’s ability to meet our customers’ needs. We’re going to do that, while continuing our commitment to build a better future by balancing power reliability and affordability for our customers.
