Powering Mississippi today, energizing growth for the future /blog/powering-mississippi-today-energizing-growth-for-the-future Thu, 19 Jun 2025 20:43:42 +0000 /?p=18010 This is our home, too, and most of us at Entergy are customers just like you. We know it’s important to you that we deliver reliable power at an affordable price. In fact, we take this responsibility to heart and it’s more important than ever that our teams work diligently every day to help keep your bills as low as possible.

Your energy costs at the lowest possible price: 20% below the national average                                              

Whether you’re a grocery store owner, a school administrator, managing your household’s expenses, or overseeing a hospital or manufacturing plant, we understand that every dollar in your budget matters. That’s why we’re proud to say last year our rates were 20% below the national average.

7 cost-saving actions we’re taking today to stay below the national average

  1. Protecting your bills: Our rates are frequently evaluated by our regulators, the Mississippi Public Service Commission, who determine electricity rates for our customers.  our plan to keep our rates steady throughout the summer, because we know that higher temperatures create higher usage and higher bills.
  2. Recruiting new power partners: By bringing new, large customers into our service area we not only help create new jobs and dollars for the state, but we also create a framework that lessens the burden for our residential customers across Mississippi.
  3. Building an all of the above generation mix: Using a diverse range of power sources makes our system more reliable, efficient and cost effective for customers.
  4. Modernizing our generation fleet: Modern technologies equal better efficiency, and new power generation sources are in our plans. This will allow us to bring cleaner, more efficient and more cost-effective power generation to Mississippi. And it offers us the flexibility to lessen the impact on your bills should one fuel source spikes in price.
  5. Managing fuel costs: We’re in a constant state of trying to procure fuel at the lowest price available. Fuel costs are never marked up, so customers pay exactly what we pay. Also, having a variety of power sources helps shield customers from fuel price fluctuations and enhances grid reliability.
  6. Putting money back in your pockets: During the 2024 tax season, Entergy helped low-income customers across our service area receive $55 million in federal tax returns. We help customers save additional dollars through other federal funding resources including Ìý²¹²Ô»åÌý, and we offer The Power to Care – our long-held bill assistance program for qualifying customers.
  7. Offering bill support: Our Bill Toolkit provides customers resources and available assistance options to help them more easily manage their energy bill. Whether you have questions about your bill, need more time to pay or are looking for assistance, our one-stop shop connects you to available programs and services.

Entergy Mississippi is invested in you in more ways than one. Our 2,500 employees across the state are your neighbors, your friends, your family. This is the place we happily call home just like you. As every day expenses continue to become more and more costly, as inflation rises, we remain focused on the impact of our customers’ bills.

Find a summary of available bill-related resources on our .

Data source: 20% average is sourced from the U.S. ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø Information Administration. EIA rate comparison data does not include any securitized riders, taxes or fees. Securitized riders typically include storm restoration costs, for example.

Entergy Mississippi storm update – 5/27/25, 12:30 p.m. /stormcenter/entergy-mississippi-storm-update-5-27-25-1230-p-m Tue, 27 May 2025 21:38:34 +0000 /?p=18061 JACKSON, Miss. – Entergy Mississippi continues to make progress in restoring power as multiple rounds of thunderstorms with heavy rains, high winds, and lightning moved through the Entergy Mississippi service territory beginning Saturday and continue throughout the day today. Each wave of weather has brought new outages, with some occurring in the same areas that had already been affected by earlier storms.

As of 12:30 p.m., approximately 5,400 customers are without power as a result of the weather impacts across our service territory. We encourage customers to be prepared, as additional severe weather is expected to continue to move through our service area this week.

Approximately 1,000 Entergy crew resources and contractors including linemen, damage assessors, vegetation workers and support personnel are working to provide restoration for these customer outages.

Damage assessment is 93% complete. So far damage has been found to more than 70 poles, 30 transformers, 50 cross arms and more than 18 miles of downed wire. With ongoing assessments and additional weather impact, some outages will extend beyond today, particularly in the more severely and or newly impacted areas. As we continue to identify damaged equipment, restoration times will be updated on the outage map at www.entergy.com/view-outages. These estimates are also subject to change as possible additional weather impacts occur in some areas.

Entergy Mississippi reminds customers that if they live in a neighborhood that has had power restored but don’t have power at their home, they likely have electrical damage. If a customer is without power, they should check for damage to the electrical equipment attached to their home or business and contact an electrician to make repairs. For information about a home’s electrical equipment, visit www.entergynewsroom.com/storm-center/weatherhead/.

If electric equipment appears undamaged, text OUT to 36778 or call 1-800-9OUTAGE (800-968-

Our crews, along with mutual assistance contractors, will continue working around the clock until all power is restored. To support the safety of our workforce and avoid fatigue, individuals should not work more than 16 hours in a 24-hour period and should never work more than 13 days in a row without a 24-hour rest period. This allows our restoration crews to get adequate rest and safely restore power when working.

Here’s how you can stay up to date on our restoration efforts:

  • Download the Entergy app. Customers can use the app to report outages or check on the status of power at their home or business.
  • Check Entergy’s View Outages map. Maps show where outages are located and give information about restoration progress.

Customers should stay away from downed lines and report them immediately by calling 1-800-9OUTAGE or 1-800-968-8243 and your local police station or fire department.

Damage assessment is also underway and many customers that sustained outages from this round of storms, that can safely receive power, are expected to be restored by 10:00 p.m. tonight. However, we anticipate at this time that some outages will extend beyond today, particularly in the more severely impacted areas. As we continue to identify damaged equipment, restoration times will be updated. For updated estimated restoration times throughout the day, view our outage map at www.entergy.com/view-outages. These estimates are subject to change as damage assessment continues and possible additional weather impact expected throughout the day in some areas.

  • Live wires can be deadly. Stay away from downed power lines. Call 1-800-9OUTAGE or 1-800-968-8243 to report downed or dangling power lines, damaged or downed poles or other damaged equipment.
  • Do not trim trees or remove debris on or near downed power lines. Only power company crews or their contractors should remove trees or limbs touching power lines. Again, stay away from downed power lines.
  • Keep away from the immediate areas where crews are working. There is always the danger of moving equipment and the possibility of construction materials, limbs or overhead wires falling to the ground.

  • Do not run a generator in a confined space without adequate ventilation. Use them only outdoors, following all manufacturers’ safety guidelines.
  • Turn off any electrical appliances that can easily be turned to the off position until power is restored.
